Why We Love This Product!

Little Mic, Big-time Performance!

Tired of trying to shoehorn that clunky condenser mic into the perfect position on your drums? Just when you think that magic mic placement is out of reach, along comes Shure with their mighty mite of a mic (and integrated compact preamp), the Beta 98AMP/C. It's small enough to get to those tight spots on toms, snare drums, and percussion instruments, but don't think for a second that this little guy is anything less than a monster mic. Nope, the Beta 98AMP/C sounds totally amazing, and its cardioid pattern means sound leakage from other drums, cymbals, and instruments is kept to a minimum. Use it onstage. Use it in the studio. Use it on all kinds of stuff. Because it has a built-in preamp, a convenient quick-release clip for easy instrument or stand mounting, AND a very handy gooseneck, the Beta 98AMP/C is amazingly easy to use - and built for super-accurate placement.
