98H/C& WB98H/C specifications

The Shure 98H/C and WB98H/C microphones are dynamic, high-performance models tailored for professional applications, especially in live performance and recording environments. These microphones are designed with specific features and technologies that cater to the needs of musicians, vocalists, and audio engineers, ensuring top-notch sound quality and reliability.

At the heart of both the 98H/C and WB98H/C is a cardioid polar pattern, which effectively captures sound from the front while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear. This characteristic is essential in live settings, where feedback could be a significant concern. By minimizing unwanted noise, these microphones allow for a clean and focused audio signal, which is vital for mic’ing instruments and vocals alike.

The Shure 98H/C features a flexible gooseneck design, allowing for precise positioning to capture sound accurately and adapt to different performance scenarios. This versatility is crucial for musicians who need to place the microphone exactly where they want it without compromising sound quality. Additionally, the microphone has a lightweight and robust construction, making it durable enough to withstand the rigors of professional use.

The WB98H/C, on the other hand, is designed for wind instruments and other acoustic performance applications. It shares many features with the 98H/C but takes a more specialized approach for brass and woodwind instruments. It comes with a specialized mounting system that allows for unobtrusive attachment, ensuring that the microphone does not interfere with the musician's performance or instrument mechanics.

Both microphones employ advanced Shure technologies, such as a high-output, low-impedance design, which provides an impressive sound clarity and dynamics. They also come with a frequency response tailored to capture the nuances of musical performances, ensuring that every note and subtle detail is conveyed accurately.

Moreover, the Shure 98H/C and WB98H/C are compatible with various wireless systems, making them a flexible choice for performers who require mobility without sacrificing sound quality. Their ease of use, combined with professional-grade audio characteristics, makes them a reliable staple in both live and studio environments.

Whether capturing the soulful sound of a saxophone or amplifying a lead vocalist's powerful range, the Shure 98H/C and WB98H/C microphones stand out for their performance, versatility, and durability, making them ideal choices for any serious audio professional.
