Shure RPW120 | Beta 87A Supercardioid Condenser Capsule for Handheld Transmitter

The RPW120 from Shure is a Beta 87A condenser microphone capsule compatible with most interchangeable Shure handheld transmitters (available separately), with the exception of the BLX and GLX-D systems. It delivers a clear, detailed vocal sound for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording applications.

The uniform supercardioid polar pattern provides maximized gain-before-feedback along with a smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level capability (140.5 dB).

Featuring an electronic low-frequency roll-off and a shockmount system, the capsule virtually eliminates proximity effect and reduces handling noise. Its circuitry is designed for low susceptibility to RFI and electromagnetic hum.
