Description The Shure Beta 57A is a premium, high-output dynamic microphone designed for the precise reproduction of acoustic and electric instruments. Its supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent isolation from other on-stage sounds and ensures high gain-before-feedback with minimal off-axis coloration. The microphone features a tailored frequency response that provides added presence and definition, while the hardened steel mesh grille makes it particularly easy to take advantage of proximity effect for a warmer, richer sound. Its advanced pneumatic shock mount system significantly reduces handling noise, ensuring that whether you are miking a snare drum, a guitar amplifier, or brass instruments, the audio remains clean and focused
