Shure WB98H/C Cardioid Clip-on Gooseneck Microphone Description
- This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-61938). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc. Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or XLR-to-TRS.
- The WB98H/C features transformerless preamplifier circuitry, which improves linearity across the full frequency range.
- The pickup pattern of the Beta 98H/C provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise.
- Its high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) enables it to handle the extreme demands of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments.
- Tailored frequency response for studio quality performance
- Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
- Uniform cardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
- Compact design reduces stage clutter
- Interchangeable microphone cartridges with different polar patterns are available
- Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability

Cb Solo –
Shure is one of the oldest and best engineered line of microphones in the world. just watch any music presentation live, on television, or DVD and you are most likely going to see a Shure microphone.
The unit I purchased thru Amazon allows this microphone to be used in reinforcing the sound of brass and woodwind instruments by clipping the mic to the bell of the instrument. It is well engineered to handle loud sound levels produced by some brass instruments
In testing the mic, I found that my expectations were met and then some. After all, it is a Shure mic.
Buying thru Amazon allowed me to save over other on line retailers selling the same unit.

Todo en buenas condiciones llegó antes de tiempo en su caja bien sellada con varios accesorios como funda de transporte y una esponja adicional así como el manual de uso y garantía
El cable me parece de mala calidad –
El micrófono funciona perfectamente y su precio es muy bueno

Hello,
This microphone is the best match for an instrument mic for a Resophonic guitar or a banjo. While the clasp is a challenge to use open on a resonator banjo, this works great on the Resophonic Guitar. Good pick and plenty of chord for most configurations.

Lo compre como reemplazo de otro micrófono, y el cambio al tocar música en vivo es radical, me gusta la calidad de la construcción y del resultado al tocar con la banda, si quieres calidad no dudes en invertir en este microfono.

I like the sound better than any other sax mic I’ve used. Every one of these I buy is completely consistent and high-quality. I’ve been using these since around 2001, and I have gone through maybe 5 of them since then. It seems to hold up well to hard use.
The Shure Beta 98 has a rich, even tone. It doesn’t try to color your sound or make it “edgy”; it just keeps your sound balanced and natural. It’s slightly warm, but not too warm.
It’s rugged, like a Shure should be. Usually I can make one last for three years of heavy use, until finally the cable goes bad. If I were better at soldering and fishing cable through a gooseneck, I’d try fixing them. But to me it isn’t worth it. Shure will take them back and sell you a new one at a discount. My last one has a weak spot in the gooseneck from me bending it up and down, but it hasn’t shorted out yet so I’m keeping it in my road case as a spare. I bought my new one here on Amazon so I won’t have any problems on the road this year. I like reliable gear.
My first clip-on mic in the late ’90s was a Beyerdynamic with a nice sound. Actually, it sounded about as good as this Shure and was just a little warmer. But sooner or later it shorted out in the gooseneck, as all clip-on mics do. After that I got an AKG VHF wireless system and really liked that mic, until the system was stolen.
I had heard players on the AudioTechnica and thought it sounded like crap, so I assumed AKG had some magic dust that made their mics special. I hate how the AudioTechnica is EQ’ed–to me it always sounds shrill like it’s trying too hard to “help” the player cut through the mix. Because of that observation and my good prior experience with AKG I had an AKG mic special-wired for the Shure ULX system by Sweetwater Sound when I bought the system I currently use. It sounded good, but eventually the AKG mic shorted out in the gooseneck.
I had no idea the sound of the AKG was thinner than the Shure mic until I needed to replace it. It wasn’t a bad mic, but it wasn’t as rich-sounding as the Shure is. I didn’t feel like trying to solder a rewired mini-XLR connector on the AKG myself, and didn’t want to pay extra to have it wired for the Shure system, so I bought the Shure Beta 98 instead and was surprised to find out it was so noticeably better.
Once I tried the Shure 98, I’ve never looked back. The tone is natural and even, with no EQ curve getting in the way. But not “flat” sounding either. It reproduces my low undertones and my high overtones all blended into the sound like it should. Like butter. It cuts enough for me to project, but doesn’t sound shrill. Actually, it sounds exactly like my unamplified tone, only louder.
I end up buying one of these every 3 or 4 years when I wear the last one out. This is my 5th since 2003 or so, when the AKG mic shorted out. I don’t mind that they wear out and I can’t fix them, because the sound quality is so good. The Shure ULX Pro system is terrific, and it always “just works” even with very heavy use. (I got lucky that my UHF system was still in a good frequency range when the FCC reassigned a bunch of bands to emergency use in 2007. My ULX Pro from 2001 is still working great and legal for use in the 50 states! So that tells you something about how durably Shure makes things.)
The Shure Beta 98H has a very natural sound that fits with my warm tone. Try it and you won’t be disappointed.

I’m a pro sax player. I’ve tried them ALL when it comes to mics. this one give the biggest and warmest sound. But, I just wish they were more durable. Like all of these type mics, the small wire and connectors are prone to damage and shorting. I’m currently on my second one in 3 years.

Un micrófono excelente para instrumentos de viento y acordeón

Go to microphone for my wireless saxophone set up. I have 2 and when one breaks I send it to shure for repair and use the other in its place. Have been doing this for years. Shure makes great high quality electronic products and backs that up with consistent repair/replace warranty.
