Headworn Vocal Microphones
General Description
Shure models BETA53 and BETA54 are subminiature, electret condenser headworn microphones. They provide uncompromised sound quality and reliability
with minimal visibility in applications such as broadcast, theater, and touring. Despite their small size, each microphone’s condenser element delivers full,
clear, and natural reproduction of speech and vocals. The microphone features a durable, low-profile wire frame headband which is fully adjustable for stabil-
ity and comfort. A plastic carrying case protects the microphone and its accessories.
