One of the world's best-selling, single-element, condenser mic, the BETA 87A puts singers on a pedestal.

About the Shure BETA 87C Vocal Microphone

The Shure BETA 87C is a premium condenser microphone designed specifically for critical vocal applications in both live performance and studio recording. It features a supercardioid polar pattern that provides exceptional gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound, making it an ideal choice for high-volume stages with powerful monitor wedges. The microphone's tailored frequency response is engineered to enhance vocal presence and clarity, delivering a smooth, natural sound with a pronounced yet controlled high-frequency lift that helps vocals cut through a dense mix without sounding harsh or sibilant.

As a condenser microphone, the BETA 87C requires phantom power (typically 11-52V DC) and offers a wide dynamic range with low noise and high sensitivity, capturing the subtle nuances and full expressiveness of a vocal performance. Its internally shock-mounted capsule effectively isolates the transducer from mechanical noise and handling disturbances. The microphone is built with a durable steel grille and a robust housing to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent use. Its consistent performance and reliable construction have made it a favorite among touring vocalists, broadcasters, and recording artists who demand a microphone that delivers consistent, detailed sound night after night.

The BETA 87C provides a refined sonic character that bridges the gap between the detailed transparency of a studio condenser and the feedback-resistant power needed for live reinforcement. Its combination of excellent feedback rejection, sonic detail, and physical durability makes it a versatile and trusted tool for the most demanding vocal applications across music genres, theater, and public speaking.
