The Shure Beta 98H/C is a miniature condenser instrument microphone with an in-line preamplifier designed to clearly capture the sounds of today's professional horn and woodwind players. The mic features a clamping mechanism that attaches to the bell of a wind instrument or the rim of a percussion instrument, while an integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint ensure secure, optimal positioning. Once the position is determined, the gooseneck angle brace ensures that the Beta 98H/C will stay in place during even the most active performances.
