Shure BETA87C Cardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone
The Shure Beta 87C is a premium quality cardioid hand-held condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability. It is ideal for a professional lead or backing vocalist either on stage, for live recording, or in the studio. The cardioid polar pattern makes it ideal for use with in-ear monitoring.
Features:
- Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise
- Uniform cardioid polar pattern for maximum isolation
- Minimal off-axis tone coloration
- Low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect
- Three-stage pop filter minimizes breath pop and noise
- Break-resistant stand adapter
- Frequency response: 50 to 20,000 Hz
Specifications:
- Cartridge Type: Electret Condenser
- Frequency Response: 50 to 16,000 Hz
- Polar Pattern: Cardioid
- Output Impedance: 100 Ω
- Sensitivity (at 1kHz, open circuit voltage): −51 dBV/Pa (2 mV)1 Pascal = 94 dB SPL
