Review on 🎀 Shure BETA 87A Supercardioid Condenser Microphone: Studio & Live Performances with Mic Clip & Storage Bag by Michael Custodio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lightweight with great sound!

Condenser mics are becoming more and more popular as I use them more than non-condenser mics. The headsets I use for live broadcast have hypercardioid condensers (Beyerdynamic) and they just sound way better than the SM58 I used for live/commercial. The only problem was that I couldn't use my headphones for the live announcement because there would be too many reviews! Always wanted a full featured studio condenser mic but didn't get the bill. This Beta 87A fits right in the middle! It's very light which is great for our events where I hold the mic for 10-12 hours. I really like the flat top as it already helps keep it at the perfect angle for the best sound. This review is really for the unboxing video only, I may or may not do a video review later. We played karaoke and chatted with it and WOW it's so much better than the SM58s I've used before. Highly recommend if you are looking for something in between a standard mic and a very expensive studio mic!

Pros
  • Wide dynamic range (117dB) and low distortion performance
Cons
  • Some bugs
