Shure Beta 58A Dynamic Vocal MicrophoneThe Shure Beta 58A Dynamic Vocal Microphone is perhaps the ultimate live vocal mic. Its tight, consistent supercardiod pattern helps to eliminate feedback and keeps out unwanted signals.
Shure has increased the high-end frequency response on the Beta 58A (50-16,000 Hz) giving it smoother sound and improved internal shock-mount. This smooth frequency response is ideal for vocalists of any style.
For all of its performance features, the Beta 58A remains one of the most rugged vocal mics in the industry.
In the tradition of the SM58, the Beta 58A dynamic microphone has become a top choice among vocalists and touring sound professionals.
The Shure Beta 58A is a high-output supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain-before-feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone coloration. The Beta 58A has a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals. The superb performance of this microphone is not affected by rough handling because of its rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille. Typical applications for the Beta 58A include lead vocals, backup vocals and speech.
