Shure Beta 87A

The Beta 87A is one of the most rugged, reliable condenser vocal microphones in the world. Its contoured, extended frequency response transmits every voice full of detail, precision and warmth. The highly consistent supercardioid pickup pattern provides maximum feedback immunity and minimizes off-axis coloration. The hardened steel basket withstands the heaviest loads and allows optimal use of the proximity effect.
