The Shure Beta 27 Instrument Condenser Microphone is designed to capture the unique details that make instruments stand out. It is suitable for a wide range of instruments including guitar and bass amps, orchestras, choirs, drums, and pianos. The Beta 27 ensures accurate and faithful results by recording the sound source without any coloration, preserving the live sound experience.
The microphone’s intuitive design combines premium components with legendary construction and includes two useful switches. The 3-position LF Response switch allows you to control overpowering lows, while the integrated Attenuator enables you to handle ultra-loud sound levels up to a massive 154dB. With Shure’s renowned reliability, the Beta 27 is a dependable companion throughout your career.
Shure has crafted the Beta 27 to faithfully represent your sound. It features a flat and neutral frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20kHz, ensuring that what you hear in the room is what you’ll hear on your recordings. The supercardioid polar pattern helps isolate the instrument’s sound from other off-axis sources, while the ultra-thin gold-layered diaphragm provides superior transient response. This allows you to capture every detail with natural and organic results. Additionally, the microphone includes Low-Frequency Response and Attenuation switches for easy adjustments when recording louder sounds.
Durability is a hallmark of Shure, and the Beta 27 continues this tradition with its legendary build quality. Despite being an excellent studio microphone, it is versatile enough to be used in various environments. The built-in 3-position LF filter helps you deal with unwanted rumble and noise, while the integrated three-layer pop-filter prevents wind noise from affecting your recordings. From small clubs to large stadiums, the Shure Beta 27 offers studio performance and exceptional reliability.
The microphone has received positive reviews, with Front of House Magazine stating, “After everything we did, I found the Beta 27 to be a very worthy successor to the KSM. I’ve used large diaphragms that cost up to four figures that I would gladly leave on the shelf in favor of the Beta.”
