The Shure BETA 87A supercardioid condenser microphone delivers professional-quality audio capture with superior clarity and detail. Designed for vocalists and instrumentalists, the BETA 87A provides high gain before feedback thanks to its tight supercardioid polar pattern. Its wide, smooth frequency response of 50Hz to 18kHz captures the full range of your sound with pristine accuracy.

Superior Feedback Suppression for High-Gain Use

The BETA 87A's supercardioid polar pattern rejects ambient noise and feedback, allowing you to use higher gain settings without issue. This makes it ideal for live performances where high volume levels are required, as well as an excellent choice for recording in small, reflective spaces. You'll be able to achieve full, rich tone with clarity and definition.

Rugged Yet Comfortable Design

Shure designed the BETA 87A with durability and ergonomics in mind. Its handle is thick and textured for a comfortable, slip-free grip during extended use. A break-resistant swivel mount attaches the mic securely to a stand while allowing flexibility of movement. An integrated three-stage pop filter protects from plosives and ambient breath noise for a clean signal.

Wide, Accurate Frequency Response

The BETA 87A captures the full range of vocal and instrument frequencies with stunning accuracy thanks to its 50 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response. Subtle details come through with clarity and there is no discernible coloring of the source sound. Whether you're singing, playing an acoustic instrument or recording amplified sounds, the BETA 87A delivers a smooth, natural tone.

Simple Setup with Phantom Power

As a condenser microphone, the BETA 87A requires 48V phantom power to operate. Connect it to a mixer, audio interface or preamp that supplies phantom power and you'll be ready to record or perform. Its balanced output uses a standard XLR connector for a noise-free signal over long cable runs.
