The Shure Beta 98AMP/C is a precision-engineered miniature cardioid condenser drum microphone featuring an integrated XLR preamplifier with a flexible gooseneck and the A75M Universal Microphone Mount for accurate placement in any configuration of toms, snares, or percussion. An extremely uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent gain-before-feedback, off-axis rejection of unwanted noise, and high maximum SPL.
• Uniform cardioid polar pattern provides maximum gain-before-feedback and rejection of off-axis sound for smooth high-end response and control
• Precision-engineered design features integrated preamplifier and XLR connector to maximize setup efficiency while minimizing stage clutter
• Frequency response tailored for drums and percussion applications with a wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
• Flexible gooseneck for precise placement and easy adjustment
• Ships with A75M Universal Microphone mount with quick release, for versatile and secure instrument and/or stand mounting
