Description

What is the Beta 98AD/C best suited to?
This premium drum microphone is ideal for use with snares, toms and percussion.

What are the characteristics of the Beta 98AD/C?
An extremely uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent gain-before-feedback and off axis rejection of unwanted noise.

What is the difference between the Beta 98AD/C and the other versions of the Beta 98?
The Beta 98AD/C is a cardioid condenser drum microphone and comes complete with the A98D drum mount which features a flexible gooseneck. The Beta 98A/C is the same microphone minus the drum mount. The Beta 98 AMP/C features an integrated preamplifier.

Also available are supercardioid versions (Beta 98S & Beta 98D/S).

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.

Features

  • Uniform cardioid polar pattern provides with smooth high-end response
  • 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
  • Ships with A98D Drum mount featuring a flexible gooseneck for precise placement and secure attachment
