A Beta Series Reference for Live Performance
Part of the Beta Series, the " Beta 98 H/C " carries on the DNA of stage microphones renowned for their presence, warmth and off-axis rejection. Designed to meet demanding conditions, it combines a discreet form factor with a response curve optimized to preserve nuances, even close to noisy sources. This approach has made it a live performance standard while remaining perfectly at home in the studio.
Who is it for and what is it used for?
The Beta 98 H/C is aimed at drummers, percussionists and wind instrument players looking for close, clean and repeatable miking. On stage as in the studio, its cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces bleed, enabling clear mixes on busy stages. Its clip ensures secure mounting on a bell or drum shell, without the need for a bulky microphone stand.
