Overview
Features
The Beta 98H/C miniature cardioid condenser instrument microphone clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion
instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation
shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument vibrations. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the desired
microphone placement.
