Shure BETA 57A Dynamic Supercardioid Instrument Microphone

The Shure Beta 57A is a professional dynamic microphone designed to deliver exceptional clarity for both vocals and instruments in live performance and studio environments. Known for its rugged construction and detailed sound reproduction, the Beta 57A is a trusted choice among musicians, engineers, and performers who need reliable performance and precise audio capture.

Featuring a supercardioid pickup pattern, the Beta 57A focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while effectively rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This provides excellent isolation and higher gain before feedback, making it ideal for loud stages, close-miking guitar amplifiers, drums, brass instruments, and vocals.

Professional Sound for Stage and Studio

With a tailored frequency response of 50Hz–16kHz, the Beta 57A delivers warm lows, clear mids, and crisp highs. Its balanced tonal character captures the natural detail of vocals and instruments, making it equally effective for live performances and recording applications.

Durable Design Built for Performance

Designed for demanding environments, the Beta 57A features a hardened steel grille that protects the capsule during energetic performances and transport. An internal shockmount minimizes handling noise, while the neodymium magnet provides strong output with low distortion for a clean, powerful signal.

Excellent Isolation and Feedback Control

The uniform supercardioid polar pattern ensures consistent off-axis rejection across frequencies, allowing performers and engineers to achieve clear sound even in complex stage setups.
