<h2>What is the Beta 98AMP/C best suited to?</h2>

<p>This premium drum microphone is ideal for use with snares and toms. </p>

<h2>What are the characteristics of the Beta 98AMP/C?</h2>

<p>The Beta 98AMP/C provides a smooth and natural sound, and features an integrated XLR preamplifier with a flexible gooseneck.</p>

<h2>What is the difference between the Beta 98AMP/C and the other versions of the Beta 98?</h2>

<p>The Beta 98AMP/C is a cardioid condenser instrument microphone and comes complete with an integrated preamplifier and the A75M universal drum mount. None of the other versions of the Beta 98 contain an integrated preamplifier. The Beta 98AMP/C has a wider dynamic range with a SPL level 7dB higher than Beta 98AD/C and the Beta 98A/C. The Beta 98AD/C is for the same applications and instead contains an A98D drum mount which features a flexible gooseneck. The Beta 98S & Beta 98D/S will continue to be available and have a supercardioid polar pattern. </p>

<p>Please note - any Beta drum microphone featuring the letter 'A' following the model number contains a new capsule and as a result you can expect a more natural high frequency response.</p>

<h2>Beta 181 Applications</h2>

<p>This Beta 181 is a multipurpose instrument microphone and can be used on a wide variety of applications including guitars, bass and drums (overheads and snares). A total of four different capsules (Cardioid, Supercardioid, Bi-directional, Omni-directional) are available, allowing you to interchange them according to application.</p>

<h2>Interchangable Capsule Options</h2>

<p>The RPM181/C is a cardioid condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;The RPM181/S is a super cardioid condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;The RPM181/BI&nbsp;is a bi-directional condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;The RPM181/O is a omni directional condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Applications for the different capsules&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The cardioid capsule is best suited to overheads, piano and acoustic instruments. You can also use the cardioid capsule for M/S stereo micing (in conjunction with another microphone with a bi-directional capsule). &nbsp;The supercardioid capsule is best suited to snare, toms, acoustic instruments and other forms of close distance micing. The omni-directional capsule could be used for choirs, orchestras and ambient recording applications. Lastly, the Bi-directional capsule can be used for mono overheads, or for the recording of two instruments simultaneously on one channel.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>In the Box</h2>

<p>The Beta 181 can be purchased with any one of the four mic capsules available. You&#39;ll then need to buy any additional capsules you want seperately. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Shure are pleased to have won a coveted TEC Award for excellence in audio during Namm 2012 for the Beta 181 microphone 

TEC Awards 2012

In many applications where a large diaphram side-address condenser might be a desirable, but impractical choice for live music, the Beta 181 offers a fresh solution. A full, rich, well-defined sound in a microphone that goes where many others can’t. Impeccable performance in a neat versatile package.

Roger Lindsay, Legendary FOH Engineer (The Pretenders, James Taylor, Van Morrison)

Bright, accurate.  Great rejection.  Great as a discrete overhead. Nice ''sticky'' hi hat sound. Lovely on a flat ride



Mike Dolbear.com – July 2011

Whether live or in the studio, the Beta 181 would serve you as a very multi-purpose condenser microphone thanks to its modular design. As such, it is a very interesting addition to Shure’s venerable Beta Series.
