Sensitivity: -51dBV/Pa, 2.8mV. Sensitivity: -64dBV/Pa, 0.6mV. This mic has a slight lift in the mids-highs that sounds great for snares. BETA 98H/C includes: RPM626 inline preamp, 3m cable with attached preamplifier, windscreen, and zippered bag
Designed for snare, brass, guitar amps, and acoustic guitar, although often preferred as a vocal microphone, Beta 57a allows high gain before feedback whilst retaining isolation from nearby sound sources. Output impedance: 100ohms. The models shown here are described by Shure as 'best suited to' instrument applications. Frequency response: 40Hz - 16kHz. This microphone utilizes a 5-stage bass switch that offers flexible bass attenuation allowing the microphone to be used in a variety of situations around the drum set. Output impedance: 200ohms. Frequency response: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -55dBV/Pa, 1.75mV. It’s also a very versatile microphone that is perfect for all manners of acoustic instruments including voice, guitar and woodwind in addition to drums. The SM-57 is the perfect mic. You’ll find it being used to mic up everything from toms and snares, to brass instruments and guitar amplifiers. I would suggest spending a little more and investing in the Shure SM57 but this is a solid microphone for the price. Predecessor to the SM57, the 'Unidyne III' vocalist and drum microphone has a uniform cardioid pattern and shaped response. This snare drum microphone is rock-solid, meaning it will provide many years of service and it is undoubtedly the best snare mic for the money. A lockable attenuator allows the switching between 0dB and 10dB for miking up louder sources. A 2-position switch allows the engineer to switch from flat response to ‘low-mid-scoop’ settings when more punch is preferred. Sensitivity: -48.5dBV/Pa, 3.8mV. Excellent for guitars as well. I dont have samples but I own the SM57 and Beta-52. Output impedance: 146ohms. The cardioid pickup pattern ensures ‘clear reproduction’ in ‘close-miking applications’. It is just as rugged and versatile, but delivers more depth and punch. Can also be found as part of the PGADRUMKIT4 and PGADRUMKIT6 packages. Shure are undeniably one of the most prolific mic brands in the world, and perhaps the king of the dynamic mic. Weight: 230g. Frequency response: 100Hz - 5kHz.

A complete kit of instrument microphones including 1x PGA52, 2x PGA56, 1x PGA57, 2x drum mounts, and 4x cables. All Shure products are available from Canford. It’s the most popular instrument microphone in the world. BETA 98D/S has the same properties as the BETA 98/S however it includes the A98D drum rim mount. Sensitivity: -38dBV/Pa, 13mV. Output impedance: 150ohms. SM57 is also a popular microphone for vocals where a tighter pickup pattern is required. The included microphone clip mounts directly to the thread of a standard microphone stand. The Neodymium magnet inside the Beta 57a also allows a high signal-to-noise ratio output. WB98H/C has the same properties as the BETA 98H/C, however it is terminated with TA4F connector for wireless transmitter compatibility. The integrated locking microphone stand adapter with 3-pin XLR termination allows easy positioning and connectivity. Output impedance: 310ohms. The Beta 98/S capsule has been designed for drums, conga, piano, reed, wind and string instrument applications, and is terminated with 3-pin XLR. AUDIX i5 vs SHURE SM57 (Snare Top) I think the i5 is way clearer but doesn't have the body of the 57. Designed for snare and tom miking, along with other close miking applications such as guitar amplifier cabinets, Beta 56a has an integrated locking microphone stand adapter with 3-pin XLR termination allows easy positioning and connectivity.
