Shure BETA 98AMP/C Miniature Cardioid Condenser Drum Microphone

Shure BETA 98AMP/C — Miniature Cardioid Condenser Drum Microphone

BETA 98AMP/C Overview

The Shure BETA 98AMP/C combines a miniature cardioid condenser capsule with an integrated preamplifier in a compact form factor purpose-built for percussion and drum applications. Its tailored frequency response is optimized for the transient-rich character of drums and other acoustic instruments, delivering consistent, accurate reproduction in live and studio environments. The flexible gooseneck allows precise capsule positioning without requiring additional hardware, and the included A75M microphone mount supports secure placement across a wide range of configurations. This microphone is well suited for live sound engineers, touring companies, houses of worship, and theatrical productions requiring discreet, reliable instrument miking.

The low-profile design minimizes stage clutter and keeps the microphone out of sight, making it a practical choice for broadcast, theater, and high-visibility live productions where aesthetics and reliability are equally critical.
