Description

Shure BETA 57 Dynamic Supercardioid Microphone

The Beta 57 is a premium quality supercardioid, dynamic microphone, ideal for musical instrument applications. A superefficient magnetic circuit design utilizing a neo­dymium magnet provides maximum output voltage for improved signal-to-noise ratio in recording and sound reinforcement applications. Unlike many other super­cardioid microphones, the Beta 57 retains a true super­cardioid -(unidirectional) pickup pattern throughout its frequency range.

Features:

  • Wide and smooth frequency response adds extra clar­ity and naturalness to microphone pickup
  • High efficiency magnetic circuit using neodymium­iron-boron magnet increases output, maximizes signal­to-noise ratio with any amplifier
  • Supercardioid pattern remains uniform and symmetri­cal throughout the microphone's frequency range to reduce off-axis coloration and feedback, while improv­ing separation from other sound sources
  • Improved pop protection compared to other instrument microphones
  • Unique and stylish grille of extra-rugged chrome-plated steel
  • Humbucking coil permits use even in strong hum fields produced by lighting and power equipment
  • Advanced electro-pneumatic shock mount design effec-tively minimizes transmission of handling or stand noise
  • Extremely rugged and durable
  • Admirable performance in the studio or on stage
  • Legendary Shure reliability for years of trouble-free performance

Specifications:
