A classic close-miking choice from the Beta range, designed for the demands of drum kits

The Beta 98AMP/C fits within Shure's approach dedicated to close-miking powerful and dynamic sources. Within the Beta 98 family, the AMP/C variant stands out by its compact design with integrated preamp, ideal when a clean, fast, and repeatable setup on a kit is desired. The goal is clear: to achieve a precise and immediately usable sound while maintaining excellent control of bleed in often busy environments (cymbals, snare, monitors, amps).

Who is it for and what are its uses?

This microphone is designed for drummers, sound engineers, and stage technicians seeking a reliable solution for close-miking toms, percussion instruments (congas, timbales, bongos), and more broadly any source requiring close placement with millimetric positioning. Its cardioid polar pattern facilitates isolation, while its high SPL handling allows confident work on very hard hits, both live and in recording.

Questions frequently asked

Is the Shure Beta 98AMP/C suitable for miking toms?

Its cardioid electret capsule is designed for close miking of toms and helps to reduce cymbal bleed. The maximum SPL of 157.5 dB allows it to handle hard hits.

What type of connector does this drum microphone use?

The output is via an XLR connector, with a nominal impedance of 150 Ω.

Are the clip and gooseneck included?

Mounting relies on the universal A75M clip and a gooseneck to precisely adjust orientation close to the source. A windscreen, carrying pouch, and multi-step adapter are also included accessories.

Does this cardioid microphone limit cymbal bleed?

The cardioid pattern favors isolation of the close source and reduces side pickup of cymbals. This behavior facilitates miking a tom within a busy drum kit. The frequency response ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
