The Shure BETA 27 side-address condenser microphone is precision engineered for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording applications. The BETA 27 mic's flat frequency response and low self-noise provide unerring performance in demanding environments whether they are on stage or in a studio.

The Shure BETA 27 microphone's tight supercardioid pattern and 3-position switchable low-frequency filter help reduce unwanted background noise, counteract proximity effect for consistent, extended low-end, and give you high gain-before-feedback. Shure tailored the BETA 27 for superior transient response thanks to the microphone's low-mass, 1" externally-biased, ultra-thin, 24-karat gold-layered Mylar diaphragm.

  • Supercardioid polar pattern specifically targets the sound source consistently with greatly minimized bleed from off-axis sound sources
  • Tailored for superior transient response from a low-mass, 1" externally-biased, ultra-thin 24 Karat gold-layered Mylar diaphragm
  • Flat, neutral frequency response for natural reproduction on stage or in the studio
  • 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background noise or counteract proximity effect for consistent, extended low-end
  • -15dB switchable attenuator handles extremely high SPLs with ease
  • Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
  • Internal pop filter with three separate mesh layers reduces wind and breath noise
