The Beta 27 side-address condenser microphone is precision engineered for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording applications. Its flat frequency response and low self-noise provide unerring performance in demanding environments. A tight supercardioid pattern ensures high gain-before-feedback and maximum isolation from other sound sources.

FEATURES:

•Supercardioid polar pattern specifically targets the sound source consistently with greatly minimized bleed from off-axis sound sources
•Tailored for superior transient response from a low-mass 1” externally-biased ultra-thin 24 Karat gold-layered Mylar® diaphragm
•Flat neutral frequency response for natural reproduction on stage or in the studio
•3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background noise or counteract proximity effect for consistent extended lowend
•-15 dB switchable attenuator handles extremely high SPLs with ease
•Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
•Internal pop filter with three separate mesh layers reduces wind and breath noise.
 

SPECIFICATIONS

Beta 27 Side-Address Microphone

  • Type: Condenser (externally biased)
  • Frequency: Response: 20 to 20,000Hz
  • Polar Pattern: Supercardioid
  • Impedance: 160?
  • Sensitivity (at 1kHz, open circuit voltage): -37dBV/Pa, 1 Pascal=94dB SPL
  • Maximum SPL (1kHz at 1% THD): 1000? load: 134dB (148dB, Pad on), 2500? load: 140dB (154dB, Pad on)
  • Signal-to-Noise ratio (referenced at 94dB SPL at 1kHz): 85.5dB, S/N ratio is difference between 94dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self noise, A-weighted
  • Dynamic range (at 1kHz): 1000? load: 125.5dB, 2500? load: 131.5dB
  • Common Mode Rejection (20 Hz to 20kHz): > 50dB
