Shure Beta 87C

Description

The Beta 87C is a handheld condenser vocal mic. It is identical to the Beta 87A, although with a cardioid pickup pattern.

Shure FAQThe 87C was introduced for performers using in-ear monitors. In brief, a cardioid mic is often preferred by in-ear monitor users as it sounds more “natural” with the in-ear mix.

If you use floor monitors, the BETA 87A may be a better choice as it will often provide a bit more gain before feedback than the BETA 87C.

The Shure Beta 87C is also known as: Beta87C, Beta 87C.
