Specifications
BETA 98H/C Miniature clip-on cardioid condenser instrument microphone with integrated horn mount, RPM626 in-line preamplifier, 25’ cable
WB98H/C Miniature clip-on cardioid condenser instrument microphone with integrated horn mount, TA4F-terminated 5.3 ft. cable
Available Models
• Premier live performance microphone with Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
• Uniform supercardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
• Smooth, wide frequency response with gradual presence rise and controlled proximity effect tailored for vocals
• Advanced cartridge shock mount system absorbs mechanical shock and minimizes handling noise
• Dent-resistant steel mesh grille and enamel coated metal alloy construction resist wear and abuse
• Effective built-in pop filter reduces undesirable wind and breath noise
• Very low susceptibility to RF and electromagnetic hum
Features
The Beta 98H/C miniature cardioid condenser instrument microphone clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion
instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation
shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument vibrations. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the desired
microphone placement.
