	<li>Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings</li>
	<li>Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind</li>
	<li>Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum</li>
	<li>Overhead miking -- drums or percussion</li>
	<li>Ensembles -- choral or orchestral</li>
	<li>Room ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums</li>
</ul>

Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement have significant effects on the sound obtained when miking a source. You may need to experiment with these variables to achieve the best overall sound for each application.

Condenser Microphone, Supercardioid, Black, 3-pin XLR Connector

BETA 27

<h2>What is the Beta 27 best suited to?</h2>

The Beta 27 is ideal for a wide variety of acoustic, wind and electric instruments, such as guitar and bass amplifiers, drum, percussion and piano. The tight supercardioid polar pattern ensures high gain-before-feedback and provides maximum isolation from other sound sources making it perfect for live stage applications.

<h2>How does it sound?</h2>

The Beta 27 is tailored for superior transient response from a low-mass, externally-biased ultra-thin Mylar diaphragm. It has a flat, neutral frequency response for natural reproduction.

<h2>What are the main features?</h2>

The Beta 27 uses premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors. It includes a 3-position switchable low-frequency filter which helps reduce unwanted background noise or counteract the proximity effect and the -15 db switchable attenuator handles extremely high SPLs with ease. The internal pop filter with three separate mesh layers reduces wind and breath noise

<h2>What is the difference between the Beta 27 and SM27?</h2>

The Beta 27 is a supercardioid whereas the SM27 is a cardioid. You can expect a more concise sound pickup and a full bodied sound signature with the Beta 27.
