GENERAL

The Shure BETA 98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrumental microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind

instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the

microphone to be easily positioned and secured in place, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of

instrument “key noise” and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention

of the microphone placement during more active performances (see Figure 9 for application).

The BETA 98H/C features transformerless preamplifier circuitry, which improves linearity across the full frequency range.

The preamplifier is attached to the microphone via a 10-foot high-flex cable. The MX1–BP battery-powered preamplifier

is available as an optional accessory and provides exceptional performance in situations where phantom power is not

available.

The pickup pattern of the BETA 98H/C provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.

Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and

percussion instruments.

The microphone is supplied with a snap-on windscreen, a storage bag, a gooseneck angle brace, and a cable

management device. The preamplifier can be powered by any 11–52 Vdc phantom power supply.

APPLICATIONS AND PLACEMENT

The most common BETA 98H/C applications and placement techniques are described below. Keep in mind that micro-

phone technique is largely a matter of personal taste; there is no one “correct” microphone position.

SAXOPHONE(see Figure 4): Clamp the microphone onto the bell of the saxophone, so the microphone is a few inches

from and facing into the bell. This will produce a bright tonal balance while minimizing feedback and leakage.

SOPRANO SAXOPHONE (see Figure 5): Clamp the microphone onto the bell of the saxophone and adjust the gooseneck

so the microphone is facing the keys of the instrument, a few inches from the lower keys. This will produce a warm and

full tonal balance. For a brighter tone, adjust the gooseneck so the microphone is facing into the bell, a few inches away.

TROMBONE PLACEMENT (see Figure 6): Clamp the microphone onto the bell of the trombone and adjust the goose-

neck so the microphone is facing directly into the bell, a few inches away. This will produce a bright tonal balance while

providing maximum isolation.

TRUMPET PLACEMENT (see Figure 7): Clamp the microphone onto the bell of the trumpet and adjust the gooseneck

so the microphone is facing directly into the bell, a few inches away. This will produce a bright tonal balance while provid-

ing maximum isolation.

DRUM PLACEMENT (see Figure 8): Clamp the microphone onto the drum rim and adjust the gooseneck so the micro-

phone is aiming a few inches above the drum head and an inch from the rim. This provides a full tonal balance.
