The Beta 87 microphone has
consistently been a top choice of performers and audio technicians around the
world due to its superb accuracy and detail, and rich vocal production. This
long-standing favorite now features a new design and has been renamed the
Beta 87A TM.
In response to user requests, Shure has redesigned this
microphone by just slightly thickening the handle for a more comfortable feel
when hand-held. In addition, the Beta 87A now includes the A25D break-resistant
swivel adapter.
The Shure Model Beta 87A is a premium quality supercardioid
hand-held electret condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth
frequency response and high sound pressure level (SPL) capability. Used for
professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording
applications, the Beta 87A combines superb performance with the ruggedness
needed for touring and field production.
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.
