Shure BETA98H-C

The Beta 98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrument microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. Its integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint lets you easily position and secure the mic, while its isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. It also comes with a gooseneck angle brace to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances. Requires 11 to 52 vdc phantom power.
