Top product from Shure
after long search for microphone that suits to me and my voice just can say my search is finished!!!
Great mic. Powerful and smooth. Lovely sweet tones on the bottom end
Clear and crisp
I got the Beta 87A, because my voice sounded too dark and boomy when using the SM58. I use it mostly for speech and voiceover.
The Beta 87A is very bright and crisp, which helps a lot for my voice. It also has a lot of flexibility in handling: the distance from the mic which can be used seems to be larger and easier to find for beginners, when compared to the SM58. The proximity effect is quite smooth as well, this makes playing with it a lot of fun. It is a lot more sensitive than the SM58, and thus background suppression is not as good as the SM58. The low pass filter is kind of build-in. I would have prefered a switch to disable it occationally.
At the end of the day, it depends on your voice and what you want to achieve. For me it has worked very well.
Best bang for the buck
Could not be happier with this microphone. I can see why this is an industry standard. For less than 300 hundred euros you get a top of the line professional mic. I have read a lot of reviews before buying, and to be honest I was a bit skeptic, becuse I already own a Shure SM58 which is great mic, so I wasn't sure whether it was worth the extra money, but it is. It has so much clarity to it and power that it makes singing seem a bit easier. Would totally recommend it to anyone who is performing live. I use it in the church, and the sound is just amazing. Honestly there is nothing about this mic that i don't like. It is lightweight, it is powerful, sounds amazing, If you are thinking of buying it, don't hesitate, you won't be sorry.
Simply the best
Sound engineers are always happy to see me turn up with this mic. Simply one of the best vocal mics you can get, and works very well on instruments also. Highly recommended.
best sounding mic for live acoustic gigs in my expirience
I use this mic for live acoustic performance. I play and sing in acoustic trio, and with this microphone sound of my deep baritone voice is clear and always cut through the mix!
Very good frequency dynamics. Nice clear warm sound. Used for vocals. No need for features so it?s not a negative. Great mike.
