Beta 58A Vocal Microphone

What is the BETA58A best suited to?

The BETA58A is a premium vocal mic ideally suited for professional lead and backup vocals, either on stage or in the studio.

How does this compare to the legendary SM58?

Both are designed for vocal use and have a bright midrange and bass roll-off. The BETA58A has increased sensitivityThis is how mich signal a microphone produces for a given amount of sound.Read moreGo to the glossary and high-end frequency responseThis is the range of frequencies, from the lowest to the highest, that a mic can pick up.Read moreGo to the glossary which results in a cleaner more detailed sound.
