The SHURE's BETA 98AMP/C with small size makes it ideal for circumstances where a full-sized microphone would be too big. The cardioid pickup pattern of this instrument microphone helps to block out undesirable outside noise. The Beta 98AMP/C comes with a tiny preamp unit, gooseneck, and quick-release clip (ideal for mounting on a stand or instrument), so you'll have both perfect positioning and the power you need to generate amazing music.
