What is the Beta 98H/C best suited to?
It’s a premium instrument microphone with a flexible gooseneck and clip on clamp making it ideal for use with brass, percussion and woodwind instruments, either on stage or in the studio.
What are the charactaristics of the Beta 98H/C?
It has a tailored frequency responseThis is the range of frequencies, from the lowest to the highest, that a mic can pick up.Read moreGo to the glossary of 20Hz – 20KHz and a high maximum sound pressure level of 132dB (SPL). It has cardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. It is less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.Read moreGo to the glossary pickup pattern providing high gain before feedbackSustained “howl” when a mic 'hears' a loudspeaker already reproducing that mic's sound.Read moreGo to the glossary. It includes a 3 m (10ft) high-flex cable which is attached to the preamplifier. The pre-amp requires phantom powerThis must be provided to all condenser microphones in order for them to operate.Read moreGo to the glossary and connects to your mixer via an XLR connection.
The microphone is also available with a drum clamp - model Beta 98D/S or with no clamp Beta 98S
- The Beta 98 H/C feature transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequencyThis is how many times a sound or radio wave oscillates in one second.Read moreGo to the glossary range.
- The pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.
- Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
