A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too.

Product information

General

The Shure Beta 87A is a super-cardioid handheld microphone with vocal reproduction performance that professional audio companies, recording studios and radio and TV broadcasts swear by. Its combination of excellent sound quality and solid construction make this microphone ideal for use on the road and suitable for the most professional situations.

The 87A consists of a controlled low-frequency roll-off which compensates for the so-called 'proximity effect'. This can occur when singing directly into the microphone, causing a change in the frequency response of a microphone, therefore emphasising lower frequencies. The soft, dynamic frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz ensures an excellent speech and vocal reproduction, while ambient noise is kept to a minimum thanks to the super-cardioid pickup pattern. To counter vibrations and unwanted handling noise, Shure has equipped the 87A with advanced shock mount technology. In combination with a built-in pop filter, this microphone provides perfect audio reproduction of the original source without disruptive external influences!

Tips or comments about this product

  • The difference between the Shure Beta 87A and the 87C is the pickup pattern. The Beta 87A has a super-cardioid pickup pattern, whereas the 87C has a cardioid characteristic. This way, the 87A allows less feedback when used by experienced vocalists who know how to direct their vocals straight into the microphone. The 87C, on the other hand, is a little more susceptible to feedback; but requires less microphone technique because it picks up sound from all sides.

Shure Beta 87A Vocal Condenser Microphone

Très content de mon investissement. J'utilise un SM58 bêta depuis 10 ans. C'est déjà mieux que le SM58 "base". Mais là! On est un cran au dessus! Je me régale!

Shure Beta 87A Vocal Condenser Microphone

Erg blij met deze nieuwe mic. Heb hem nu voor thuisgebruik besteld, omdat we hem vaak bij optredens gebruiken. Geeft een heerlijk helder geluid in de hoogte, maar neemt ook de warmte van de laagte in m'n stem mee. Aanrader!

Shure Beta 87A Vocal Condenser Microphone

Een goede vocalist redt zich met een matige microfoon, een zwakke vocalist zal nooit goed klinken, door welke microfoon dan ook.

Shure Beta 87A Vocal Condenser Microphone

Ik zing al jaren met deze Mic.

Een Mic is zeer persoonlijk.

Dit is een topproduct van Shure.

Klinkt heel zuiver, transparant en blijft in het laag ook nog aangenaam klinken.

Ik had onlangs een SM87A.

Is leuk ... maar mist de transparantie en duidelijkheid in de diepte van de Beta.

Maar goed, verschil moet er zijn, toch ?

Shure Beta 87A is gewoon top !!
