Shure Beta 58A Super Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The Shure Beta 58A® high-output supercardioid dynamic vocal mic designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It has become a leading choice among vocalists and touring professionals worldwide.

The Beta 58A 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. The Beta 58A has a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals. The superb performance is not affected by rough handling because of its rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille.

Features : 

• Frequency response tailored for vocals, with brightened midrange and bass rolloff to control proximity effect
• 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 
• Minimally affected by varying load impedance 
• Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration
