The BETA 98AMP Miniature Cardioid Drum Microphone from Shure is a 3-pack of miniature condenser microphones. The BETA 98AMP features a gooseneck for flexible positioning on drums, percussion, and more. Its high SPL handling and wide frequency response make it ideal for both crucial recording and sound reinforcement applications. The BETA 98AMP’s small capsule and flexible gooseneck allow for close drum positioning without interfering with the player’s performance.

The Beta 98AMP/C provides a smooth and natural sound, and features an integrated XLR preamplifier with a flexible gooseneck.

The Beta 98AMP/C is a cardioid condenser instrument microphone and comes complete with an integrated preamplifier and the A75M universal drum mount. None of the other versions of the Beta 98 contain an integrated preamplifier. The Beta 98AMP/C has a wider dynamic range with a SPL level 7dB higher than Beta 98AD/C and the Beta 98A/C. The Beta 98AD/C is for the same applications and instead contains an A98D drum mount which features a flexible gooseneck. The Beta 98S & Beta 98D/S will continue to be available and have a supercardioid polar pattern.

Please note – any Beta drum microphone featuring the letter ‘A’ following the model number contains a new capsule and as a result you can expect a more natural high frequency response.
