Overview
Shure BLX14/B98 Instrument System with (1) BLX4 Wireless Receiver, (1) BLX1 Bodypack Transmitter, and (1) WB98H/C Cardioid Condenser Instrument Mic rophone
BETA 98H/C
A versatile solution for brass or percussion instruments. No external mounting hardware required.
Description

The BETA®98H/C and the wireless version WB98H/C are premium cardioid condenser instrument microphones that clamp onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.
