SHURE Beta98D/S – Snare/Tom Microphone

The Beta 98D/S is a high performance mini-condenser microphone designed to excel at professional sound reinforcement or recording. Its ultra-uniform supercardioid pickup pattern provides high gain before feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. In addition, an optional cardioid cartridge lets you easily adapt the mic to different applications. For toms, snares and percussion instruments, no other microphone stands up to the performance and versatility of the new Shure Beta 98D/S.

As the successor to the popular SM98A, the Beta 98D/S features several notable improvements. Dynamic range is 4 dB greater, as is headroom, while maximum SPL is 5 dB higher (now 160 dB!). Physically, the mic utilizes a thicker, beefier Triple-Flex? cable (detachable).

With the unique A98D microphone drum mount (supplied), no other rim-mounted microphone stays more securely in place. This hardware has been redesigned for quicker, more secure, rim-mounting without the need for a drum key. Its flexible gooseneck lets you position the mic in practically any configuration, so you get a virtually unlimited choice of sound options. Its unobtrusive design and compact size help the Beta 98D/S reduce stage clutter to an absolute minimum. (The microphone is also available without the drum mount - model Beta 98/S.) And because it bears the Shure name, you can be certain that the Beta 98D/S will withstand just about any abuse it may run across and keep delivering great sound.

NEW Wider mounting base capable of accommodating a larger range of microphone stands. Even works with the LP Claw.

Specifically engineered for drum and instrument applications, the Beta 56A's compact, pivoting design makes it the ideal choice for these applications.

Its extremely uniform supercardioid pickup pattern provides high gain before feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. A built-in dynamic locking stand adapter with an integral XLR connector simplifies installation. The stand adapter keeps the microphone securely in place, even if it is struck by a drumstick. Typical Beta 56A applications include close miking of tom-toms and other percussion instruments, as well as guitar amplifiers, brass instruments, and woodwinds.
