BETA53 BETA54
Headworn Vocal Microphones
General Description
Shure models BETA53 and BETA54 are subminiature, electret condenser headworn microphones. They provide uncompro­
mised 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 mi­
crophone features a durable, low­profile wire frame headband which is fully adjustable for stability and comfort. A plastic carry­
ing case protects the microphone and its accessories.
