Shure BETA 98H/C Clip-on Condenser Instrument Microphone Terminated to 4-Pin Mini-Connector (TA4F)

The Beta 98H/C miniature cardioid condenser instrument microphone clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument vibrations. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the desired microphone placement.

Features:

• Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
• Uniform supercardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
• Smooth, wide frequency response with gradual presence rise and controlled proximity effect tailored for vocals
• Advanced cartridge shock mount system absorbs mechanical shock and minimizes handling noise
• Dent-resistant steel mesh grille and enamel coated metal alloy construction resist wear and abuse
• Effective built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath noise
• Very low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic hum
