Shure BETA 98H/C Cardioid Condenser Clip-on Gooseneck Microphone

Miniature instrument microphone delivers high gain-before-feedback and rejection of unwanted noise. It features preamplifier circuitry to improve linearity across the full frequency range, and tailored response for natural sound reproduction.

Features:

• The Beta 98 H/C feature transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency range.
• The pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.
• Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
• The Beta 98H/C features a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)
• Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproduction
• Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility
• Gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioning
