Shure Beta 27 Condenser Instrument Microphone

The Shure® Beta 27 is a studio-grade, side-address condenser microphone for professional sound reinforcement. Its flat frequency response, low self noise, and superior construction quality provide unerring precision in demanding performance and recording environments. A tight supercardioid pattern ensures high gain before feedback, maximum sound isolation, and consistent off-axis rejection.

Features

• Supercardioid polar pattern targets intended sound source with minimized bleed from off axis sound sources
• 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 µm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar® diaphragm provides superior transient response
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortions
• Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
• Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17Hz
• Switchable 15dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
• Three-position low-frequency filter switch reduces unwanted background noise or counteracts proximity effect
• Integrated three-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
• Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise

Performance Characteristics

• Low self-noise
• Consistent, highly directional polar response
• Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
• Extremely high SPL handling
• High output level
• Extended frequency response
• No crossover distortion

Applications

• Electric guitar and bass amplifiers
• Brass and woodwind instruments

• Close-miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and percussion
• Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum
• Vocals and speech

Note: Location and room acoustics strongly affect the sound quality of microphones. To achieve the best overall sound for a particular application, it may be necessary to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments.
