The SM98 is a miniature electret condenser microphone with a unidirectional (cardioid) pickup pattern. A smooth wide frequency response from 40 to 20,000 Hz allows the microphone to be extremely well adapted to pick up all kinds of musical instruments.

The unidirectional pattern of the SM98 discriminates against sounds coming from the rear, permitting higher gain before feedback in sound reinforcement applica-tions. Because of its uniform cardioid pattern extending out to 20,000 Hz, the microphone can be used for pickup of a particular instrument in an ensemble or orchestra, min-

Shure Models microphones with wide frequency response phones well suited wireless use; the SM98A is for wired applications. Both models fea-ture the 98 microphone element. The cardioid polar response of the 98 discriminates against sounds coming from the rear, permitting higher gain before feedback in sound reinforcement applications.

They come with mic capsules, ~20ft cables, the pre amps, drum rim clamps and gooseneck mic clips. Note that the goosenecks are from the beta series, but the mics and pre's are vintage SM98.
