  Characteristics

  Supercardioid vocal stage microphone static. Therefore requires a 48V power but supports voltages from 11 to 52V!

  Overall Opinion

  I received it two days ago. I immediately did a test in my home studio. I recorded my voice on a tape instrumental. First with the SM58 and the Beta 87. Both have passed through the Mindprint TRIO.
  
  I first listened to the SM58. I have found the result quite good ... until I listen to the recording made with the beta 87 ... day and night!
  
  The sound is crystal clear and incredibly precise, crystalline highs and lows are very hot and very accurate at a time.
  
  
  
  The next day, so last night I took him to repeat. We play in a small room in a circle. We play hard because the drummer taps very strong ... I have not had any problems Larsen. Impeccable sound quality, a very high fidelity.
  
  I actually find it easier to sing with the microphone because I really feel to hear "my voice" in return. I therefore feel like a much finer control of my voice, I can correct the detail.
  
  The downside, no false notes are missed. But to know what you want!
  
  
  
  This is my first microphone static scene. The difference with the dynamics that I had the opportunity to test (SM58, MD431) is enormous. It's not even bother to compare them.
  
  
  
  The price / quality ratio is excellent if you buy in the United States as I did. I do it again this choice 1000x!
  
  
  
  EDIT:
  
  I used it for the first time Saturday night live, the microphone is a real massacre!

  Characteristics

  Condenser microphone
  
  Supercardioid

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for over a year.
  
  Aside from its appearance Aesthetics trsrussi the Beta87A has a good rev to rjection Feedback for static, dynamic equivalent of MODELS.
  
  
  
  This mic sounds dlivre prcis and quite equilibrated on all frquences, Fidler plutt voice or instrument, clear enough, but with a little velvet ct and the warm dmarque many of its competitors transistor and gives it a real personality even if it is less than a typical dynamic (SM58, BETA58 ....)
  
  I possde a microphone of this type of brand T-bone, the MBBeta78, which has a lower rjection to Larsen, who has a brighter sound (depending on the acoustic conditions mtallique), which seems more transparent but in fact it has that little grain of velvety Beta87A.Mais its tariff does not intend the comparison either, even if it is excellent in its kind, and better default.
  
  Dernirement, I also had the opportunity to compare with its competitor Shure AKG, the C535EB, super micro aussi.C him 'silent during a concert in a good concert hall (mixer MIDAS Legend3000 ...). In seeking what would be best for micro sound to a flte, the Shure had all the faveurs.Bien AKG also seemed clearer and brighter, it's that little grain made the difference.
  
  I do not say that the Shure is better in all circumstances, but the comparison with yours AKG, and according to the source or the desired effect he may round up the day.
  
  
  
  Every voice microphone, but the gnralement Beta87A is versatile enough (as all static for me), especially as a tool can be truly enhanced with this microphone.
  
  
  
  In short, I put a 10 property MRIT but only by taking into account the fact that I bought in the United States less than 150 euros, including postage.
  
  In France and in Europe Manir gnrale, like all Shure products in my opinion, can get very expensive compare to other brands that offer cheaper products often equivalent, if is better in terms of quality.
  
  But less than 200 euros, it's all good as compared qualitprix!

  tHom''s review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Condenser microphone for voice.
  
  Rather late, great finish (steel grill soaked).

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a year.
  
  I also used an SM58 and a Beta 58 (very good).
  
  This microphone is on top. It was obviously not the quality of the Neumann KMS105 but we are in the high end.
  
  Very good sound, low feedback, big win, solid.
  
  As for value, I paid the price US, so I would say excellent.
  
  The price on French soil is unfortunately exorbitant.

  Tity68's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Sound of voice live.
  
  Allows you to duplicate if the singer days a flute type instrument ...

  Overall Opinion

  I use this mic for 2 years, the relatively thin body shape often surprises the singers but when they tested do not want to make it!
  
  Allows you to find live a very good accuracy of voice for those who want crystal-clear sound and accurate.
  
  Works great even the microphone away from the source.
  
  Very insensitive to feedback.
  
  Good value.

  Julito's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Micro static dynamic format (c unclear finally you get the idea)
  
  I use it for voice recording

  Overall Opinion

  I just rent this microphone directivity are extreme as a result of an ear problem I can not put a headphone (I am so taken with my monitor)
  
  Well for that use this microphone is quite perfect: Zro repisse of the instrument
  
  However, if this microphone is far above a beta 58 (clarity, respect for the intonation ...) I find it a little too crystalline and go anywhere for my taste compared to my micro audiotechnica at 4040,
  
  trs effective on the mouth or on the clear voice sings the grain of the micro does not sparkle on the voice speaks and reveals more easily the bad acoustics of a pice ...
  
  Finally a good beta 87a microphone that even if I think its competitor Neumann is much more convincing, I'd be curious to trs the use o the situation together can make the difference compared to standard dynamic (sm58 and others)
  
  In short a try!
  
  (Finally I made for my prferer him an SM7, which has nothing to do but doing better with my setup: This mic is magic!)

  chouchouchou's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  I use it for vocals, male and female

  Overall Opinion

  I've had three months and I compared the Neumann KMS105 I possde too. Although the sr bta87 aisment exceeds a sm58, but he can not ankle Neumann. It takes a little finger to find the good rglage. Given the delicacy of the Neumann I referrer more choice, but you have breaking the bank but I think it was worth it!

  Stephsab's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  IDAL scne really for. Condenser microphone that gives the song live the quality of the voice studio.
  
  Works with power fantme.

  Overall Opinion

  Cal's been two years that I sing with the microphone. Before this one I had a sm58.
  
  Super Micro, the sound is both warm and yet still crystalline high notes stand out well. This reproduces the micro CHARACTERISTICS voice and do not change, such as the sm58 which adds bass. It is the trs long relaxation for the feedback, we can push it far enough.
  
  He normment dynamic, no need to yell into it all again. Even in the whispered voice is great. The resemblance is truly striking micro studio. I prfre even his competitors from home neumann which is nevertheless twice as much.
  
  
  
  A must try, you will not.
