The Beta 98H/C and the wireless version WB98H/C are premium cardioid condenser instrument microphones that clamp onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.
Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproduction
Adjustable gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allow for optimal microphone positioning
Gooseneck angle brace retains microphone placement in more active performances
Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility
Designed for use in high SPL environments
Uniform cardioid pattern provides for high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of ambient sound
Interchangeable microphone cartridges with different pick-up patterns are available
Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness and reliability
Pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise
