Professional musicians and sound engineers know that capturing the perfect sound requires a microphone that can handle anything you throw at it, and the Shure Beta 57A® supercardioid dynamic microphone rises to meet that challenge. This high-output microphone has been specifically engineered for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording applications, maintaining its true supercardioid pattern across the entire frequency range for exceptional performance.
The Beta 57A excels at providing maximum isolation from unwanted sound sources whilst ensuring high gain-before-feedback capabilities and minimal off-axis tone colouration. Its extremely versatile design makes it an ideal choice for recording acoustic and electric instruments as well as vocals, with typical applications including drums, guitar amplifiers, brass instruments, woodwinds and vocal performances.
Built with a hardened steel mesh grille and advanced pneumatic shock mount system, this microphone minimises mechanical noise transmission whilst facilitating effective use of proximity effect. The neodymium magnet construction ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio output, and the microphone remains minimally affected by varying load impedance conditions.
With its tailored frequency response specifically designed for drums, guitars, vocals and horns, the Beta 57A provides studio-quality sound reproduction backed by legendary Shure quality and reliability that professionals have trusted for decades.
