The Beta 87C is a condenser vocal microphone designed for professional stage applications. It is equally popular among discerning amateur musicians, professional singers, and sound engineers.
Typical of a high-quality condenser microphone—it sounds very clear, brilliant, and warm. Compared to a dynamic microphone, it reproduces the high frequencies with greater detail. The cardioid polar pattern ensures excellent rejection of other sound sources from behind. This makes it ideal for use with in-ear monitoring.
The Beta 87C is a cardioid (the “C” stands for cardioid in this case), while the Beta 87A is a supercardioid. Due to this wider pickup pattern, the Beta 87C is better suited for users who do not hold the microphone in a fixed position but move themselves and/or the microphone around a lot. Furthermore, compared to the Beta 87A, it has a warmer sound and rounder highs.
All Shure microphones are extremely rugged and built to withstand the rigors of touring. This also applies to the Beta 87C with its hardened steel grille. Even after falling from the microphone stand onto the floor, it remains fully functional, and such a fall usually doesn’t even leave a mark.
The high-quality sound of the Beta 87C delivers excellent results even during recording. Digital recordings can be made directly on a computer quickly and easily via the USB port using the X2u XLR-to-USB interface.
