Shure WB98H/C | BETA 98H/C Clip On Wireless Condenser Instrument Microphone 4 Pin Mini Connector TA4F (Used)

The Shure WB98H/C is a versatile and premium-quality cardioid condenser instrumental microphone, designed specifically to clamp onto the bell of wind instruments or the rim of percussion instruments. With minimal signs of use, this used microphone still retains its essential qualities that make it ideal for professional musicians and serious hobbyists alike. The incorporated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint provide ease of positioning and securing the microphone in place, ensuring optimal performance during live or studio sessions. Additionally, the isolation shock-mount effectively reduces the transmission of any mechanical noise, ensuring clarity in your recordings or public performances.

This microphone’s high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) makes it highly suitable for handling the extreme audio demands of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The tailored frequency response delivers studio-quality sound output, while the uniform cardioid pattern ensures a high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound, making it highly resistant to unwanted noise. The Shure WB98H/C comes with a 5.3 ft. cable that terminates to a 4-pin mini-connector, making it compatible with a range of wireless systems, providing flexibility for various performance settings. The compact and detachable design further enhances the convenience of use, enabling easy storage and reducing stage clutter.
