SHURE BETA 98AD/C

Astounding Mini Drum Mic from Shure!

Need to maneuver your mic into a tight spot on the drums? Then you’ll love Shure’s Beta 98AD/C mini condenser microphone.

Its cardioid pickup pattern helps keep unwanted outside sounds at bay, while the included drum mount and flexible gooseneck makes it easy to mount the Beta 98AD/C on toms, snares, or other percussion instruments. It’s perfect for both the stage and the studio!
