The Beta 87C premium vocal microphone delivers studio-grade performance and a smooth, extended high-end frequency response in a cardioid condenser design. The microphone adds warmth to the frequency response and creates an ideal environment for in ear personal monitoring. And its highly consistent cardioid pattern offers excellent rear rejection.
- Smooth, wide frequency response with slight presence rise
- Uniform cardioid polar pattern for maximum isolation
- Minimum off-axis tone coloration
- Low-frequency roll-off compensates for proximity effect
- Three-stage pop filter minimizes breath pop and noise
- Break-resistant stand adapter
- Frequency response: 50 - 20,000 Hz
| Type | Condenser (electret bias) |
| Frequency Response | 50 to 16,000 Hz |
| Polar Pattern | Cardioid |
| Output Impedance | Rated at 150 ohms (100 Ohms actual +/- 20%) Recommended minimum load impedance: 800 ohms |
| Sensitivity (at 1,000 Hz) | Open Circuit Voltage: -51 dBV/Pa (2 mV) (1 Pa = 94 dB SPL) |
| Clipping Level (at 1,000 Hz) | 1000 Ohm Load at 1,000 Hz: -6 dBV (0.5 V) |
| Maximum SPL (at 1,000 Hz) | 139 dB at 1,000 Hz (0.25% THD, 1000 Ohm load) |
| Self-Noise | 22 dB typical, A-weighted 24 dB typical, weighted per DIN 45 405 (equivalent sound pressure level; measured with true rms voltmeter) |
| Dynamic Range | 117 dB (maximum SPL to A-weighted noise level) |
| Hum Sensitivity | -5 dB equivalent SPL, maximum, in a 1 mOe field (60 Hz) |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 72 dB at 94 dB SPL (IEC 651)* *S/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self-noise A-weighted. |
| Polarity | Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 relative to pin 3 of the output connector. |
