About Shure 87A Super-Cardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone.

From the stage to the studio, the Beta 87A Super-Cardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone is a trusted choice among performers and audio technicians globally. Celebrated for its exceptional accuracy, intricate detail, and rich vocal production, this microphone has been reimagined and rebranded as the Beta 87A TM.

In response to customer feedback, Shure has enhanced the design of this microphone, subtly increasing the handle's thickness for an improved, comfortable grip during handheld use. The Beta 87A now also incorporates the A25D break-resistant swivel adapter, adding to its durability and ease of use.

The Shure Beta 87A is a superior quality supercardioid handheld electret condenser vocal microphone. It boasts an incredibly smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level (SPL) capability, making it perfect for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording applications.

Designed to deliver outstanding performance while withstanding the rigors of touring and field production, the Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off. This compensates for proximity effect, preventing the "boomy" sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise enhances the upper midrange, adding clarity and brightness to your vocals.

With its tight supercardioid pattern and null points at approximately 125 degrees, the Beta 87A offers maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments. This ensures minimal off-axis coloration, allowing your voice to stand out in any mix.

Operating on phantom power, the Beta 87A Super-Cardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone is not just a microphone; it's a tool for capturing and delivering high-quality, professional sound.
