The Beta 98AD/C Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone from Shure is essentially a Shure Beta 98A accessorized with a drum mount and a heavy-duty cable. The package is intended to perfectly mount and position the Beta 98A on any stand and is recommended for a variety of acoustic or amplified instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind, and strings. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis feedback and noise, and its tailored frequency response reproduces drums with pristine results. The Beta 98A's high SPL response captures transients without noise and distortion. Its miniature profile is ideal for close positioning, without interfering with the performance. Features Uniform cardioid polar pattern provides maximum gain-before-feedback and rejection of off-axis sound for smooth high-end response and control Frequency response tailored for drums and percussion applications with a wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments Precision-engineered design for unobtrusive microphone footprint Specifications Transducer Electret Condenser Polar Pattern Cardioid Frequency Range 20 Hz to 20 kHz Signal to Noise Ratio 64 dB Equivalent Noise Level 30 dB A-Weighted Maximum SPL 150.5 dB SPL THD 1% Impedance 179 Ohms Sensitivity 4 mV/Pa at 1 kHz Dynamic Range 120.5 dB Output Connectors 1 x 3-Pin XLR Operating Current Consumption 3.6 mA Operating Voltage 11 to 52 V Length 1.4" / 35.56 mm Diameter 0.46" / 11.68 mm Weight 0.42 oz / 12 g Package Weight 1.85 lb Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 10.1 x 5.1 x 3.4"
