Shure SM87A Supercardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone

The SM87A microphone designed by Shure is a professional-quality, handheld condenser microphone to be used in broadcasting, sound reinforcement and studio recording installations. The Shure’s SM87A microphone supercardioid polar pattern is offering a greater rejection of unwanted sound sources that is making it perfect for miking individual instruments in a multi-microphone setting or for miking single sources in a reverberant or noisy environment. An integral 3-stage wind and pop filter is protecting against wind and breath noise. Its built-in shock mount minimizes stand and handling noise.
