The Beta 87A

Premium Supercardioid Handheld Electret Condenser for Vocal Applications
The Beta 87A features a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the "boomy" sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the upper midrange. The tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees, provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. The BETA 87A operates on phantom power.

Hometown Chico, CA
I have been a professional singer/guitarist for over 30 years and have always been partial to Shure microphones, especially the trusty SM58. About three years ago I took the plunge and invested in a condenser concert microphone, a Shure 87A. What a difference this microphone has made in my vocals. It captures every nuance of a performance. It took a little while for me to get used to using this microphone, as closer proximity results in a slight increase in bass response. Thus soft, passages sung close to the microhone are accentuated and appear warmer, while louder passages benefit from backing away a bit. The 87A has excellent feedback rejection and thus is naturally "hotter" than a SM58. I find this microphone is best used for jazz and pop music. For louder "rock and roll," I continue to prefer my SM58, since it provides a more basic and even response. In summary, if you are a singer that appreciates clarity and sensitive response, this is the microphone for you. Do keep in mind that this microphone requires phantom power from the board as it does not use a battery.
