The Beta 98H/C™ and the wireless version WB98H/C is a premium cardioid condenser instrument microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated Install Sound > Install Microphones > Gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the mic to be easily positioned and secured and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A Install Sound > Install Microphones > Gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances.

The Beta 98 H/C and WB98 H/C feature transformerless preamplifier circuitry which improves linearity across the full frequency range.
The pickup pattern 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.
