Description
The Shure Beta 98A is a precision-engineered compact, high-output miniature condenser microphone for professional sound reinforcement and studio recording. An extremely uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent gain-before-feedback and off-axis rejection of unwanted noise.
The Beta 98AD/C features high sound pressure level capability (SPL) and includes the A98D drum mount with flexible gooseneck that makes it an essential, accurate choice for toms, snares, and percussion.
Features:
- Uniform cardioid polar pattern provides maximum gain-before-feedback and rejection of off-axis sound for smooth high-end response and control
- Frequency response tailored for drums and percussion applications with a wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
- Precision-engineered design for unobtrusive microphone footprint
- Ships with external in-line preamplifier for discreet cable placement, snap-fit windscreen, and zipper pouch
- Ships with A98D drum mount featuring a flexible gooseneck for precise placement and secure attachment
| Type | Electret Condenser |
| Frequency Response | 20 to 20,000 Hz |
| Polar Pattern | Cardioid |
| Impedance | 179 Ohms |
| SensitivityÊ(at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage) | Ð48.0 dBV/Pa (4.0 mV) |
| Maximum SPLÊ(1 kHz at 1% THD) | 1000 Ohm load: 144 dB |
| Signal-to-Noise RatioÊ(referenced at 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz) | 64 dB S/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self noise, A-weighted |
| Dynamic RangeÊ(at 1 kHz) | 1000 Ohm load: 114 dB |
| Common Mode RejectionÊ(20 Hz to 20 kHz) | > 50 dB |
| Clipping LevelÊ(20Hz-20 kHz at 1% THD) | 1000 Ohm load: 1.0 dBV (1.26 V) THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input signal is equivalent to cartridge output at specified SPL |
| Self NoiseÊ(typical, equivalent SPL, A-weighted) | 30 dB SPL |
| Polarity | Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 |
| Weight | Net: 12 g (0.6 oz.) |
| Connector | Three-pin professional audio (XLR), male, balanced |
| Power Requirements | 11-52ÊVdc phantom power, 3.6 mA |
