Shure Beta 87C Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Shure Beta 87C vocal microphone is precision-engineered to deliver an extremely smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The warm, natural sound creates an ideal environment for personal monitoring with excellent rear rejection.
An advanced, cartridge shock mount system, hardened steel-mesh grille, and superior build quality withstand the rigors of daily touring and sound reinforcement.
