Product no: 9000-0005-6211 Bax Music Warranty: Shure SLX4 portable wireless receiver H5 518-542 MHz This product comes with a 3-year warranty. Shure SLX 2 - Beta 87A (H5, 518-542 MHz) handheld wireless mic This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Live applications often require high-quality sound at an attractive price. Condenser microphones are brilliant for live shows. They are slightly more fragile than dynamic microphones, however. The Shure Beta 87A is an exception to the rule, however: this condenser microphone can really take a hit! This is thanks to the advanced pneumatic shockmount system that counters vibrations and the solid steel housing, among other things. This version operates on frequency band H5, for use in Belgium.

Composition
This microphone system consists of the SLX2 transmitter with Beta 87A capsule and SLX 4 receiver. Installing this system is very easy: the SLX 4 finds the best frequency out of the 960 available options and then instantly contacts the SLX2 on that frequency. All of this only requires a few presses of some buttons, on your account. Shure couldn't have made it any easier.

Beta 87C or 87A?
The difference between the Beta 87A and 87C is the pickup pattern: the Beta 87A has a super-cardioid pickup pattern, whereas the 87C has a cardioid pattern. Chances therefore are that the 87A will suffer less feedback, but the user will have to sing straight into the microphone as sound from the sides is not picked up. The 87C does not require such expertise, but it is a little more sensitive to feedback.
