The 8-Ball microphone is another member of Blue?s family of spherical mics.
But while it resembles its cousins the Ball, Kickball and Snowball, the 8-Ball
has been designed to be one cool condenser ? it?ll give new meaning to
playing ?in the pocket!?
The 8-Ball is a cardioid condenser microphone designed with the needs of the
professional recordist in mind, but priced within reach of the beginning home
user or hobbyist. Featuring Blue?s highly regarded Class A discrete low noise
amplifier circuit, The 8-Ball?s smooth frequency response is sure to please even
the most discerning professional ear. Perfect for applications as varied as drum
overheads to acoustic and electric guitars or vocals, The 8-Ball will quickly become
one of your ?go to? microphones.
A standard thread swivel mount at the base of the microphone allows the user to
pivot The 8-Ball back and forth, making mic placement a snap. And because The
8-Ball requires phantom power, a front-mounted LED confirms that the mic is ready
to use.
Hustle over to your local Blue dealer and experience The 8-Ball for yourself. Its versatility,
performance and price is your cue for adding this outstanding mic to your audio repertoire.
But do it before those annoying aliens beat you to it!

Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals, the extremely versatile Beta 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. The Beta 57A 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. A completely new grille design lets you take better advantage of proximity effect. The Beta 57A is an exceptionally versatile microphone. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds and vocals.
  • 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
  • Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration
  • Frequency response: 50 to 16,000 Hz
Suggested Applications Guitar Amp Bass Amp Acoustic Guitar Brass/Saxophone Snare Drums Rack/Floor Toms Congas Woodwinds Lead Vocals

Optimized for low-frequency bass punch/high-power SPL handling. Designed for kick drum. The Shure BETA®52A is a high output dynamic microphone with a tailored frequency response designed specifically for kick drums and other bass instruments. It provides superb attack and "punch“, and delivers studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The Beta 52A features a modified supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range to insure high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted sound. A built in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation, particularly if the microphone is to be placed inside a kick drum. The stand adapter keeps the microphone position fixed and resists slipping, even when subjected to sharp blows and strong vibrations. A hardened steel mesh grille protects the Beta 52A from the abuse and wear associated with touring. Features
