Shure Beta 98S Condenser Drum Microphone

The Shure Beta 98/S is a compact, high-output miniature condenser microphone for professional sound reinforcement and studio recording. It’s extremely uniform supercardioid pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. Its high sound pressure level capability (SPL) makes it useful for a variety of acoustic or amplified instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind and strings.

Shure Beta 98/S Condenser Drum Microphone Features
  • Tailored frequency response for studio quality performance
  • Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
  • Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
  • Optional A98D drum mount is unobtrusive and versatile, allowing precise positioning of the microphone while holding it firmly in place
  • Compact design reduces stage clutter
  • Detachable cable for easy storage
  • Interchangeable microphone cartridges with different polar patterns are available
  • Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
