Shure BETA 57A Super Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals, the extremely versatile Shure Beta 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. For recording engineers who want a bit more shimmer on their vocals than the SM57 counterpart provides, the Shure Beta 57A is a worthy option that was made for a multitude of full-frequency instruments.

Capture a studio quality sound

The Shure Beta 57A maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain before feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone coloration. A completely new grille design on the Shure Beta 57A lets you take better advantage of proximity effect. The Beta 57A is an exceptionally versatile microphone. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds and vocals. Truly, the Shure Beta 57A is a high-caliber workhorse for any recording task.

Microphones built to last

Stemming back from the company’s roots, Shure is known for creating microphones that have military grade durability and reliability. With the Beta 57A, the quality you receive is no less than stellar. Its hardened steel mesh grill — harder than Shure’s SM series - functions to facilitate proximity effect, while also providing life-long resistance from typical studio wear and abuse. And for on-the-go protection, a convenient carry pouch is included with the Shure Beta 57A.
