Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals, the extremely versatile Beta 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. The Beta 57A maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain before feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone coloration. The Beta 57A is an exceptionally versatile microphone. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds and vocals. Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound, Hardened steel mesh grille that facilitates use of proximity effect and resists wear and abuse Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output , Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration, Frequency response: 50 to 16,000 Hz
