The Shure Beta 57A is an exceptionally versatile, high-output supercardioid dynamic microphone, engineered to capture the rich sounds of both acoustic and amplified instruments, as well as clear vocals, in professional environments. Unlike the SM57, its unique grille design and supercardioid pattern maximize isolation and deliver enhanced warmth and presence.
Core Performance Features
Uniform Supercardioid Pattern: Provides maximum isolation from surrounding sound sources and superior gain-before-feedback, making it ideal for congested stages (e.g., miking snare drums near hi-hats).
Tailored Frequency Response: The shaped frequency curve (50 Hz to 16 kHz) is optimized to provide studio-quality sound for drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds, and vocals, accentuating presence and clarity.
Neodymium Magnet: Features a neodymium magnet structure for high signal-to-noise ratio output, resulting in greater sensitivity and a "hotter" output compared to standard dynamic mics.
Built to Endure: The advanced pneumatic shock mount system minimizes handling noise, while the dent-resistant, hardened steel mesh grille ensures rugged durability for daily touring use.
