Shure Beta 57A Dynamic Cardioid Instrument Microphone

Shure Beta 57A Instrument Microphone - The Shure Beta 57A^® is a high output supercardioid dynamic microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain-before-feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off–axis tone coloration.

Features:
• Tailored frequency response provides drums, guitars, vocals, and horns with studio quality sound
• Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off–axis sound
• Hardened steel mesh grille that facilitates use of proximity effect and resists wear and abuse
• Neodymium magnet for high signal–to–noise ratio output
• Minimally affected by varying load impedance
• Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration
• Legendary Shure quality and reliability
• Recommended Uses: Guitar Amp, Bass Amp, Brass/Saxophone, Acoustic Guitar, Guitar Amp, Bass Amp, Leslie Speaker, Kick Drum, Snare Drum, Rack/Floor Toms, Congas, or Percussion.
