The Shure BETA 98AMP Miniature Cardioid Drum Microphone is a compact, high-performance condenser microphone designed specifically for professional drum and percussion miking. Its miniature capsule combined with a flexible gooseneck allows for precise, close positioning on snare drums, toms, congas, and other percussion instruments without interfering with the performer.
Featuring a uniform cardioid polar pattern, the BETA 98AMP delivers excellent gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound, resulting in clear, detailed audio with smooth high-end response. The microphone is engineered to handle extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) while maintaining a wide dynamic range, making it ideal for both live sound reinforcement and studio recording.
The integrated preamplifier and XLR connector simplify setup and reduce stage clutter. It ships with the A75M universal microphone mount with quick-release for secure attachment to drums or stands, a snap-fit windscreen, and a protective zipper pouch.
