Manufacturer's Description from Shure

The Beta 98H/C™ is a premium cardioid condenser instrument microphones that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.
  • Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility
  • Gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioning
  • High maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables handling of the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments
  • Transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency range
  • Pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise
  • Features a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)
  • Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproduction
  • Shure ruggedness and reliability
  • Interchangeable replacement cartridges: RPM108 : Cardioid RPM110 : Supercardioid
