The Shure BETA 87C condenser microphone features the same superb accuracy, detail, and rich vocal production and its uniform cardioid polar pattern effectively rejects unwanted sounds. It also offers minimal off-axis tone coloration. A low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect. A 3-stage pop filter minimizes breath noise. The frequency response of the BETA 87C is 50Hz-20kHz.

Requires phantom power.

    I use this mic for my clean vocals for rock and metal. Never had any feedback during a show, and it's much easier to deal with the sound guys using this. It cuts through the mix, and is very accurate. I never have to overcompensate in order to sing through it. I use it with normal and operatic singing with rock or metal in the background, and it works like a charm. However, it's so accurate I would not recommend to anyone who is not confident in their performance. My new favorite mic. I can't go back to the shure 58.

    Just bought this mic last night and did my first show with it and WOW! I've been using a Sennheiser e945 and I like the 945 a lot. I was just looking to add a cool new stage mic to my arsenal and this is my new favorite. I was able to boost the monitors much higher with the 87c without feedback. I've never heard myself in the monitor better. It cuts through the mix with plenty to spare. I considered the 87a but went with the 87c because I occasionally use in ears. I'm glad I made this choice. I'm sure I'll be using it for a long time to come. I'm now considering adding a Neumann KMS105 to my collection. I can't imagine it being much better. This mic needs very little eq'ing. With loud stage volumes, this is definitely my new mic of choice. Try it, you won't be disappointed. I would however, not recommend this to a less than stellar vocalist. It is less forgiving than your normal dynamic mic. It is a condensor so keep that in mind before purchasing. But if you are a pro and if you can really sing, this is one of the very best. Happy hunting!

    There is a world of difference between this and other mikes I have used.Much higher gain before feedback,and it doesn't color the sound of your voice. Well worth every penny!

    This mic can do anything. Live Sound, Recording, Vocals, Amps. I have used this mic in many different ways and every way it has a great sound. I believe the best use for the mic is recording vocals. It is very clear and sound great. It also has a pop-filter. I recommend this mic to anyone for any application.
