Beta 57 A : Good improvement from the original 57 counterpart

5 years ago

So far I've use the Beta57 on guitar amps and micing snare/toms on drums and this mic thrives in those situations.

After doing some shootouts with the original 57, the overall sound is almost the same as the original but with reduced bleed so when used for close micing on a drum kit it sounds slightly clearer. The construction also feels a lot sturdier than its original counterpart with the new mesh head.

There aren't any cons for this mic as far as I've been able to pin point and I intend on building an army of them in the future
