Add some studio-grade clarity to the live mix. Designed to capture brighter vocals with sparkling accuracy, the BETA® 87A brings more crisp to the concert. And the increased presence will have everyone singing your praises.

One of the world’s best-selling, single-element, condenser mic, the BETA 87A puts singers on a pedestal. Tailored frequency response concentrates on the upper midrange to raise vocal presence in the mix. So voices cut through clearly and resonate deeply with your audience.

Set your singing apart
The supercardioid pattern provides maximum isolation of your voice, giving you the chance to shine.

Never overpowered
Get right up on the mic without overwhelming the sound. Electronically controlled low-end roll-off keeps your bass from blasting over the mix.

Resists rattle
The advanced cartridge shock-mount system lets you handle the mic a little harder while absorbing any mechanical noise.
