Shure Beta 87A Supercardioid Condenser Vocal Mic

The Shure Beta 87a: Studio-quality sound for live performance vocals. Provides smooth, tailored frequency response for detail and accuracy of sound.

The Beta 87A is a high-quality supercardioid handheld electret condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. Used for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording applications, the Beta 87A combines excellent performance with the ruggedness needed for touring and field production.

The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the “boomy” sound often associated with close pickup. The characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the upper midrange. The tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees, provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration.
