Product Description

Shure Beta 87A Bundle

*Bundle offer comprising*, Shure Beta 87A

*Condenser vocal microphone*

Because of its high precision and attention to detail as well as its natural vocal reproduction, the Beta 87 was already the first choice of artists and sound engineers around the world. This classic is now available in a new design under the name Beta 87 A. At the request of many users, Shure has thickened the shaft of this microphone for a more comfortable grip.

The Shure Beta 87 A is a high-quality, permanently polarized condenser microphone with supercardioid characteristics for vocal pickup, which is characterized by an exceptionally linear transmission range and high sound pressure resistance. It is used in professional sound reinforcement, in radio and in studio recordings and combines excellent sound quality with the robustness required for tour and outdoor productions.

The Beta 87 A has a bass roll-off that compensates for the proximity effect and prevents the dreaded boom during close-ups. The typical Shore presence raises the upper mid-range, while the supercardioid pattern ensures maximum isolation from other sound sources such as vocals or instruments and only allows minimal off-axis sound colouration.

Frequently Asked Questions

The RE20 is known for its warmer, more natural sound, while the Beta 87A offers more clarity and presence. It's a matter of preference, but the Beta 87A excels when you want a more defined vocal track.
It does require a bit more attention to mic placement to avoid feedback, but the tight pattern is a huge advantage in loud environments. Practice your technique and you'll reap the benefits.
It's fantastic for contemporary pop, rock, and R&B vocals where you want a crisp, detailed sound. It’s less ideal for very deep, baritone voices needing a warmer character.
