This pre loved Shure Beta 57A is in good used condition but has a little sticker residue on the handle.
The Shure Beta 57A is a high-performance dynamic microphone designed for both instrument and vocal applications, especially in live sound environments.
Type: Dynamic
Polar Pattern: Supercardioid
Frequency Response: Tailored, typically 50 Hz – 16 kHz
Handling: Rugged, road-ready construction
Focused pickup pattern: The supercardioid design offers excellent isolation from other stage sounds and strong resistance to feedback.
High output level: Compared to more traditional mics like the SM57, it provides a stronger signal for clearer, more articulate sound.
Frequency shaping: Slight presence boost that enhances clarity of vocals, drums, guitar amps, brass, and other instruments.
Durability: Classic Shure build quality—metal body, hardened grille, and able to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL).
Snare drums and toms
Electric guitar cabinets
Brass and woodwinds
Live vocals needing tight isolation
General stage or studio utility mic
The Beta 57A is favoured for its combination of clarity, directionality, and versatility—it’s a step up from the SM57 in terms of precision while remaining equally rugged.
