The Shure Beta 87 microphone has consistently been a top choice of performers and audio technicians around the world due to its superb accuracy and detail, as well as its rich vocal production. This long-standing favorite now features a new design and has been renamed the Beta 87A. Shure has redesigned this microphone by just slightly thickening the handle for a more comfortable feel when handheld and it also includes the A25D break-resistant swivel adapter.

The Shure Beta 87A is a premium quality supercardioid handheld electret condenser vocal microphone with exceptionally smooth frequency response and high sound pressure level (SPL) capability. Used for professional sound reinforcement, broadcasting and studio recording applications, the Beta 87A combines superb performance with the ruggedness needed for touring and field production. It offers a controlled low-frequency roll-off that compensates for proximity effect and prevents the "boomy" sound often associated with close pick-up. The characteristic Shure presence rise brightens the upper midrange. The tight supercardioid pattern, with null points at approximately 125 degrees, provides maximum isolation from other vocalists or instruments while offering minimal off-axis coloration. The Beta 87A operates on phantom power.
