Beta 87C Vocal Microphone

The Beta 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for in ear personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection.

 

The Beta 87C offers an extremely smooth, tailored response for a warm, natural sound. The cardioid polar pattern compensates for the isolation often associated with the use of personal monitors.  Cardioid, Condenser.
  • Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise
  • Uniform cardioid polar pattern for maximum isolation
  • Minimum 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 - 20,000 Hz
