Shure Beta 87A
MSRP: $463 Supercardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
The Beta 87A is the same microphone as the Beta 871, with the following physical changes:
- the handle is thicker, enabling better fit in standard mic clips
- the mic now includes the A25D break-resistant swivel adapter
The capsule is a supercardioid electret condenser design. (A cardioid version is also available; see the Beta 87C.)
The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the “boomy” sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the upper midrange. The tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. The Beta 87A operates on phantom power.
The Shure Beta 87A is also known as: Beta87A, Beta 87A.
