Shure WB98H/C — BETA 98H/C Clip-On Condenser Instrument Microphone with TA4F Connector
The Shure WB98H/C is a professional clip-on condenser instrument microphone designed for brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments in live sound, studio, and broadcast applications. It is a wireless-ready version of the BETA 98H/C, optimized for use with bodypack transmitters via its TA4F (4-pin mini-XLR) connector.
It features a cardioid pickup pattern that provides strong isolation of the instrument while reducing background noise and feedback. The microphone is designed to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL), making it suitable for loud instruments such as trumpets, saxophones, and drums without distortion.
The integrated gooseneck and clip system allows precise positioning on the instrument, while the shock-mounted design reduces mechanical noise from key movements and handling. Its compact build helps minimize visual obstruction during performances.
The WB98H/C is built for durability and professional touring use, delivering consistent, natural sound reproduction in demanding performance environments. It typically includes a windscreen and mounting accessories for field use.
