Excellent for touring professionals, the BETA ®87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection, as well as a 3-stage pop filter to minimize breath noise, and a break-resistant stand adapter. Vocalists who use personal monitor systems such as Shure PSM® (sold separately) will appreciate how effectively it rejects ambient sound from the rear of the microphone.
