The Shure Beta 87A has consistently been a top choice of performers and audio technicians around the world due to its superb accuracy and detail, and rich vocal production. This long-standing favorite now incorporates a cardioid polar pattern and has been named the Beta 87C

Developed in response to professional demands associated with the use of personal monitoring devices like the Shure PSM Series, Shure's new Beta 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design.

The uniform cardioid polar pattern of the Beta 87C enables users to effectively reject ambient noise arriving at the rear of the microphone, an attribute that will be especially appealing to users of personal monitors and others who frequently experience undesirable sounds bleeding into their mixes.

  • Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise

This is the idle mic for people with especially mid-rangey voices - people who hit the notes all fine but just don't feel they have that "imapct" in a live setting.

This is a cardiod condenser microphone with a very tight pattern. This makes it ideal for live vocals, letting you really crank the monitors, which in turn, lets you hear yourself better, and thus sing better.

Want to take two steps back and belt out? This sounds great. Want to put your lips to the grill and whipser? It does that too because it rolls off all the bad low end.

It is definitely more expensive that other more common options, but the difference is noticeable!
