A Beta Series Reference, Built for the Stage
From the renowned Shure Beta series, the Beta 98H/C follows the lineage of microphones praised for their warmth, presence, and sensitivity. Designed to withstand the demands of live performance, it delivers precise and stable sound capture, with minimal off-axis coloration that facilitates tight mixes both on stage and in rehearsal.
Intended Uses and Audience
This microphone is aimed at wind instrumentalists (saxophones, trumpets, trombones, clarinets) and drummers/percussionists seeking close source and discreet capture.
