In the tradition of the SM58?, the Beta 58A dynamic microphone has become a top choice among vocalists and touring sound professionals.
The Shure Beta 58A is a high-output supercardioid dynamic vocal 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. The Beta 58A has a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals. The superb performance of this microphone is not affected by rough handling because of its rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille. Typical applications for the Beta 58A include lead vocals, backup vocals and speech.

| The Beta 87A 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 incorporates a cardioid polar pattern and has been named the Beta 87C TM.
Developed in response to professional demands associated with the use of personal monitoring devices like the Shure PSM ? Series, Shure's new Beta 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design.
The uniform cardioid polar pattern of the Beta 87C enables users to effectively reject ambient noise arriving at the rear of the microphone, an attribute that will be especially appealing to users of personal monitors and others who frequently experience undesirable sounds bleeding into their mixes.
Other features include:
- Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise
- Uniform cardioid polar pattern for maximum isolation
- Minimal off-axis tone coloration
- Low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect
- Three-stage pop filter minimizes breath pop and noise
- Break-resistant stand adapter
- Frequency response: 50 to 20,000 Hz

The Shure 55SH Series II is a Unidyne cardioid dynamic microphone boasting a classic look and vocal-tailored sound for recording sessions, live stage applications, and on-camera use. The dynamic cartridge is shock-mounted to impede handling noise and vibrations transferred through your mic stand. The implementation of a cardioid polar pattern minimizes pickup of off-axis noise and ambience, yielding higher gain before feedback and attenuated stage bleed.
The mic delivers a frequency response of 50 Hz to 15 kHz with a gentle presence boost peaking at approximately 6.5 kHz. Its XLR 3-pin output ensures compatibility with most mixer inputs, microphone preamps, and portable PA systems. An on/off switch is provided for convenient muting of the mic between speeches or performances. The attached, self-tensioning, 5/8“-27 thread swivel mount can be tilted up to 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward. Chrome die-cast metal construction provides tour-worthy durability.
Classic Appearance
In addition to being a mic with solid audio characteristics for the studio and stage, the 55SH Series II makes a great prop microphone in video shoots, photos, and theater applications
Tailored Frequency Response
The 50 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response features a slight dip in the low-mid frequency range and a gentle rise from 1 to 10 kHz, making its sonic performance optimized for vocals, public address, and dialog
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing sound pickup at the off-axis sections of the capsule, ensuring high gain before feedback
Shock-Mounted Cartridge
The dynamic capsule is shock-mounted for added protection against shock- and structure-born noise

Made in Germany
Like all members of the M series, the M 88 TG is handcrafted in Germany. The materials and the precise craftsmanship that go into the microphone ultimately create a world-class product, a level of quality that turns an ordinary microphone purchase into a long-term investment.
Perfect for heavy bass Sources
The M 88 TG excels on the kick drum, saxophone and percussions, the result of a balanced sound profile and deep bass tones. It is a must-have for every microphone collection. And why shouldn’t it be when you consider its features? It is both insensitive to high sound pressure levels and feedback resistant thanks to its nearly perfect hypercardioid!
Flexible tool iN The studio
The M 88 TG excels in the studio with the help of its multifaceted flexibility. No matter whether the job involves vocals, horns, guitar amplifiers or drums – the microphone is the perfect choice for the widest range of sources. It is all the result of its exceptionally broad frequency response and rich sound.

The first Neumann microphone with a dynamic capsule. Functionally optimized design
specifically for the broadcast field, featuring integrated pop protection, suppression of
structure-borne noise and a hypercardioid directional characteristic.
Emotion conveyed with technical perfection. This is the ideal which the Neumann
microphones in the Broadcast Line have been designed to fulfill. The fine-tuning to the
requirements of professional broadcast studios and the individual, functionally optimized
design* ensure that these are microphones of character.
The BCM 705 is Neumann?s first dynamic microphone. The housing and headgrille are
identical to those of the BCM 104; only the green logo indicates that this is something new
from Neumann. The principle of reduction to the essentials can be seen in the dynamic
capsule with a hypercardioid directional characteristic, specifically designed for speech
reproduction at close range. Multi-level isolation from structure-borne noise ensures operation
free of interference, even in a lively studio environment.
Mechanical Features
The microphone headgrille twists off easily for quick cleaning. Neumann offers optional,
color-coded headgrilles so that, for reasons of hygiene, each announcer can use his or her
individual headgrille. Iin front of the capsule, mounted on a frame holder, a fine gauze serves
as a built-in popscreen.
The microphones of the Broadcast Line have an elastic mount against structure-borne noise,
that is compatible with standard broadcast-segment microphone arms.
Acoustic features
The frequency response has a light treble boost, in the region from 2 kHz to 9 kHz, aiding the
speech intelligibility. The bass frequency response is designed to compensate for the overemphasis
of the bass caused by the proximity effect.
The integrated Pop Screen
A pop screen not only prevents the occurrence of plosive pop noises in vocal recordings, but also
efficiently prevents unwanted particles, from respiratory moisture, nicotine, to food remnants, from
settling on the diaphragm. The pop screen can be removed for cleaning without the use of tools.
Mounting
The preferred mode of operation is to suspend the BCM 104 or BCM 705 from a standard studio
boom arm.
A thread adapter to fit different connector threads is included. In order to provide protection from
structure-borne noise, both the capsule and the microphone in its mount are elastically suspended.
The optional SG 5 swivel mount allows additional angling of the microphone by +/-90 degrees.
