Description Technical Specs   The Shure WB98H/C (the wireless version of the Beta 98H/C) is a premium cardioid condenser instrumental microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured in place, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances. WB98H/C with 10 ft. cable terminated to 4-Pin Mini-Connector. Type Condenser (electret bias)   Frequency Response 20 to 20,000 Hz (measured at 304.8 mm [1 ft] from a spherical sound source, free field conditions)   Polar Pattern Supercardioid (as supplied), uniform with frequency, symmetrical about axis. Cartridge for cardioid polar pattern also available.   Output Level (at 1,000 Hz) Open Circuit Voltage: -59 dBV/Pa* (1 mV) typical *1 Pa = 94 dB SPL   Maximum SPL (20 Hz to 20 kHz, less than 1% THD) 2.5 kilohm load: 160 dB 1 kilohm load: 156 dB   Preamplifier Output Clipping Level (20 Hz to 20 kHz, less than 1% THD) 2.5 kilohm load: + 6 dBV (2.0 V) 1 kilohm load: + 2 dBV (1.26 V)   Dynamic Range (at 20 Hz to 20 kHz, less than 1% THD, 2.5 kilohm load) 125 dB (max SPL minus A-weighted noise)   Output Noise 35 dB SPL, A-weighted   Signal-to-Noise Ratio 59 dB re 94 dB SPL   Output Impedance Rated at 150 ohms (actual) Recommended minimum load impedance: 1 kilohm   Hum Pickup -7.5 dB equivalent SPL in 1 mOe field (60Hz)   Polarity Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3   Phantom Power 48 Vdc +/- 4 Vdc(IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596), positive pins 2 and 3.   Cable BETA 98/S: 7.6 m (25 ft) light-weight, two-conductor shielded, TA4F to TA3F mini connectors. BETA 98D/S: 4.6 m (15 ft) heavy-duty, two-conductor shielded, TA4F to TA3F mini connectors.   Case Microphone: Matte black enamel brass case and stainless steel inner grille Preamplifier: Matte black enamel finished steel   Dimensions Microphone: 11.7 mm X 35.6 mm (0.46 in. X 1.40 in.) Preamplifier: 20 mm X 99 mm (0.79 in. X 3.89 in.)   Net Weight Microphone: 12 g (0.4 oz) less cable Preamplifier: 96 g (3.4 oz) Features The WB98H/C features transformerless preamplifier circuitry, which improves linearity across the full frequency range. The pickup pattern of the Beta 98H/C 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. Tailored frequency response for studio quality performance. Wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound Optional A98D drum mount is unobtrusive and versatile--allows precise positioning of the microphone while holding it firmly in place Compact design reduces stage clutter Detachable cable for easy storage Interchangeable microphone cartridges with different polar patterns are available Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability
