Desciption
The Shure Beta 87A is a precision-engineered condenser vocal microphone designed for professional performance, offering studio-quality sound in a rugged, handheld format. With a tailored frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz, it delivers smooth, warm, and accurate vocal reproduction with a gentle presence rise to enhance upper midrange clarity. Its highly consistent supercardioid polar pattern ensures superior gain-before-feedback and maximum isolation from nearby instruments or vocalists, making it ideal for live stages, studio sessions, or broadcast environments. A controlled electronic low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect, preventing the excessive bass build-up that can occur during close mic use. Engineered for reliability and performance, the Beta 87A features a built-in pop filter, low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic interference, and an internal shock-mount system that absorbs handling noise. Powered by phantom power, it upholds Shure’s legacy of delivering clean, articulate sound with robust construction.
