Shure Beta 87a Condenser Mic Review / Test

MicrophoneReview
Written By Bandrew Scott

Today we look at the Shure Beta 87a, a Supercardioid, Handheld, Condenser microphone. This mic did an incredible job at handling noise rejection, a very respectable job at background noise rejection, and it offers plenty of clarity and detail if you’re looking for that condenser tone on stage. However, the self noise is nearly 24dB, and that is just far too high for studio use, so in my opinion, this is limited to a stage microphone.
