Product Code:
WB98H/C |
The Shure WB98H/C (the wireless
version of the Beta 98H/C) is a premium cardioid condenser
instrumental microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind
instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The
integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the
microphone to be easily positioned and secured in place, and an
isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument
'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace
is included to provide better retention of the microphone
placement during more active performances.
WB98H/C with 10 ft. cable terminated to 4-Pin Mini-Connector. |

Features |
- The WB98H/C features transformerless
preamplifier circuitry, which improves linearity across the full frequency
range.
- The pickup pattern of the Beta 98H/C
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.
- Tailored frequency response for studio
quality performance
- Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL
environments
- Uniform supercardioid pattern for high
gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
- Optional A98D drum mount is unobtrusive
and versatile--allows precise positioning of the microphone while holding it
firmly in place
- Compact design reduces stage clutter
- Detachable cable for easy storage
- Interchangeable microphone cartridges
with different polar patterns are available
- Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and
reliability
