Its supercardioid pickup pattern focuses on the performer while helping reduce unwanted off-axis sound. It is suited to live sound reinforcement and studio recording applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA smooth 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response with a gradual presence rise is tailored for clear vocal reproduction. The microphone also uses a controlled low-frequency roll-off to help manage proximity effect during close vocal work. This makes it practical for singers who work close to the grille on stage or in recording setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BETA87A handles high sound-pressure levels, with a maximum SPL rating of 140.5 dB under Shure's specified test conditions. Its 117 dB dynamic range and low self-noise support detailed vocal capture across quiet passages and louder performances. The balanced XLR output is intended for professional mixers, interfaces, and microphone preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn advanced cartridge shock-mount system helps reduce mechanical shock and handling noise. The integrated pop filter helps limit wind and breath noise without requiring an external filter for routine vocal use. Its supercardioid pattern can also help increase usable gain before feedback when loudspeakers are placed appropriately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe microphone requires 11 to 52 V DC phantom power and performs best with a 48 V DC supply. It connects through a balanced XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS microphone cable, depending on the input equipment. An A25D microphone clip and zippered carrying bag are included for stand mounting, storage, and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectret Condenser Capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captures vocal detail with a wide 50 Hz to 20 kHz response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focuses pickup toward the vocalist and rejects much off-axis sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControlled Low-Frequency Roll-Off:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps manage proximity effect during close microphone technique.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh SPL Capability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handles up to 140.5 dB SPL under specified conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Pop Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces unwanted breath and wind noise during vocal use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock-Mounted Cartridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps minimize handling noise and mechanical vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BETA87A uses an aluminum housing with a painted blue metallic finish. Its hardened steel grille has nickel satin chrome plating, and the microphone has a net weight of 0.207 kg (0.475 lb).

Enable phantom power from 11 to 52 V DC, with 48 V DC preferred for full specified performance. For stage use, mount it in the included A25D clip and place monitor speakers toward the microphone's rear 120-degree rejection points rather than directly behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668939595846,"sku":"BETA87A","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61Kh4GCIrPL.jpg?v=1784471329","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/shure-beta87a-supercardioid-condenser-vocal-microphone","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
