BETA 98H/C CLIP-ON GOOSENECK MICROPHONE

The Beta 98 H/C feature transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency range.

The pickup pattern provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.

Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.

The Beta 98H/C features a 3 m (10 ft.) high-flex cable with attached preamplifier (XLR connection)

Tailored frequency for open, natural sound reproduction

Compact, lightweight construction provides a low degree of visibility

Gooseneck, ratcheting swivel joint and gooseneck angle brace allow for optimum placement and fixed positioning
