The Shure Beta 57A Dynamic Microphone is a precision-engineered dynamic microphone designed for professional live sound reinforcement and studio recording. A tight supercardioid pattern on the Beta 57A delivers high gain before feedback and maximum isolation from other sound sources, with minimum off-axis tone coloration. Shure Beta 57A Dynamic Microphone Features: Tailored frequency response provides drums, guitars, vocals, and horns with studio quality sound, Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound, Hardened steel mesh grille that facilitates use of proximity effect and resists wear and abuse, Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output, Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration, Frequency response: 50 to 16,000 Hz. Shure Beta 57A Suggested Applications: Guitar Amp, Bass Amp, Acoustic Guitar, Brass and Saxophone, Snare Drums, Rack and Floor Toms, Congas, Woodwinds, and Lead Vocals.

Consistently excellent performance has made Beta microphones the choice of top performers worldwide. Renowned for their warmth, presence and sensitivity to fine detail, Beta cartridge configurations and carefully tailored response curves are as distinctive as the artists who prefer them. All models feature maximum isolation and minimum off-axis coloration.The Shure Beta 57A® is a high output supercardioid dynamic microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain-before-feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off–axis tone coloration.Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals, the extremely versatile Beta 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds and vocals.
