Shure Beta 98H/C & WB98H/C

Whether saxophone or snare drum, the Beta 98H/C (also available under the designation WB98H/C for use with wireless systems) captures all nuances of an instrument. Thanks to its high sound pressure, the Beta 98H/C can handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind as well as percussion instruments. An isolating vibration absorber reduces the transmission of key and other mechanical noise; the integrated gooseneck and swiveling clamp connection allow optimal alignment and secure mounting of the microphone.

Beta 98H/C with flexible 3 m cable and fixed preamplifier.

WB98H/C with flexible 1.6 m cable with miniature TA4F connector for use with Shure bodypack transmitters. The microphone can also be used wired with the optionally available RPM626 preamplifier.
