(B-Stock) Beta 87C condenser vocal microphone
Product no: 5000-0027-4414

Product information

General

While the Shure Beta 87A is a super-cardioid microphone, the 87C has a cardioid pickup pattern. It requires less experience to use, but is more susceptible to feedback because it also picks up sounds via the peripheral of the mic, while the 87A does not. Nonetheless, the Beta 87C is a well-known mic in the professional audio industry, from rental companies to recording studios and radio and TV broadcasts.

The 87C 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. Speaking of frequency, this mic has a range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, resulting in a soft, warm sound. A three-stage pop filter makes this sound even more pure by keeping disruptive wind and breath noises to a minimum. The icing on the cake is the included stand adapter that filters out annoying vibrations and handling noise.

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 87C condenser vocal microphone

Zoals (bijna ) steeds perfecte levering de dag na bestelling.

Over de microfoon, niets dan lof ... direct uitgeprobeerd en onder de indruk. Duidelijk superieur geluid aan andere (dynamische) zangmicrofoons in mijn bezit waaronder shure super 55. Ook voor opname zeer geschikt, niet enkel als live zangmicrofoon.

Shure Beta 87C condenser vocal microphone

Deze microfoon is geweldig. Hij ligt lekker licht in de hand. (Is Veel lichter dan shure sm58). De weergave van mijn stem is heel natuurlijk en mooi. Echt superding, waar ik heel blij mee ben! Nadeel is het *goedkope* tasje wat meegeleverd wordt. Ik heb ook ooit een Behringer mic van 25 euro gekocht. Dat zat een goede case bij. Daar vervoer Ik deze mic in. Past prima!

Shure Beta 87C condenser vocal microphone

Afgelopen week heb ik de bestelde Shure beta 87C's binnen 2 dagen ontvangen. Deze microfoon heb ik direct gebruikt tijdens een openlucht optreden (met windscreen). Microfoons geven een super heldere klank weer zoals bedacht zijn. Wat de sm of beta 58 minder in het hoog oppakt (beide goede microfoons) wordt door de beta 87 perfect weergegeven. Alsof je naast de artiest in de huiskamer staat. Zeer goede microfoon voor zangers/zangeressen.
