Shure Beta 87C

Condenser Vocal Microphone

The Beta 87 is the first choice of artists and sound engineers around the world for its high precision and attention to detail and its natural vocal reproduction. The classic is now also available with a cardioid polar pattern under the name Beta 87C.

The Beta 87C is a permanently polarised condenser microphone with a linear frequency response, designed to meet the requirements of professional artists using in-ear monitoring systems such as Shure PSM®.

The consistent cardioid polar pattern throughout the entire frequency range is highly effective at preventing unwanted ambient noise, which particularly irritates users of in-ear monitoring systems when it comes to the monitor mix. The result is studio-quality audio transmission.
