## Overview

The Shure Wired BETA 98H/C is a miniature cardioid condenser instrument microphone designed for sax, brass, and percussion. Featuring a transformerless preamp for linear frequency response, a high 132 dB SPL handling, and a flexible 3m XLR cable with integrated preamp, it delivers natural sound with excellent feedback rejection. Its rugged brass build, clip-on design, and adjustable gooseneck ensure reliable, low-visibility placement for professional live performances.

## Description

Miniature instrument microphone delivers high gain-before-feedback and rejection of unwanted noise. It features preamplifier circuitry to improve linearity across the full frequency range, and tailored response for natural sound reproduction. The BETA98H/C and the wireless version WB98H/C are premium cardioid condenser instrument microphones that clamp onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, 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.

## Features

- The BETA 98H/C and WB98 H/C feature transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency range.
- The pickup pattern 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 BETA 98H/C features a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)
- Tailored frequency response for open, natural sound reproduction
- Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility
- Gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioning
- Legendary Shure ruggedness and reliability

## Questions & Answers

**Q: this is warranted and how long ..**
A: The WB98H/C instrument microphone is one of the best microphones used on Trumpets, Sax, Trombone, pretty much any brass instrument.  The wireless adapter plug works with all Shure wireless systems.  There are other mic's out there similar to the Shure, but for the price I like this one.

**Q: Can someone find a link to the 1/4" jack adaptor for this mini 4pin connector?**
A: B&H Manhattan

**Q: Is the preamp included with the microphone?**
A: No preamp provided. This is a condenser mike that plugs into a mixer or preamp.  The mixer or preamp needs to have phantom power.

**Q: Is the cable connector a mini xlr? Or is it a Shure 4 pin propeitory connector.  I'm asking because I have phantom pwr supply with jacks ffor mini xlr**
A: The Beta98H/C features a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)
