Elevate your vocal performance with the Beta 87A supercardioid condenser microphone. One of the Shure Beta Series microphones, the Beta 87A is a best-selling, single-element, condenser vocal mic, designed specifically to provide maximum isolation of your voice, delivering studio-grade clarity and crispness to live mixes.

Increase your vocal presence, brighten your sound, and attain pristine sound on stage or in the studio. The Beta 87A is precision-engineered according to Shure’s stringent quality standards, resulting in a tailored smooth frequency response that emphasizes upper midrange to raise vocal presence in the mix.

The Beta 87A features a supercardioid polar pattern, delivering maximum voice isolation that cuts through any other sound sources and ensures that your vocals stay in the spotlight. The electronically controlled low-end roll-off keeps the bass from blasting over the mix. An advanced cartridge shock-mount system absorbs mechanical noise, so you can go all in on your performance without distraction or distortion.

Included with the Beta 87A is a swivel adapter for more flexible, reliable positioning, as well as a carrying/storage bag for more secure transportation during touring and safe storage of the mic when not in use.
