Review: Great versatility - I bought this microphone about two years ago and have never regretted it once. It's a fantastic microphone. I have used it in live shows with genres spanning metal, Folk, Classical and Jazz. It works great on Guitar amps and Snare drums for live stuff. However, I also use it regularly in my home studio with my Rode NT2a It works well with condenser microphones. Picking up the more "bassy" frequencies is very simple with it. I've got good results using it on Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, Classical Guitar, Piano, Cello, Snare drum, xylophone, For the price, it's a very fine microphone, and well suited to many situations. If you've got £120 and want a mic that does most things, rather than shelling out £250+ for a dynamic and condenser individually, than I highly recommend this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this really a triple pack?**
A: Amazon ripped me off. Paid for a triple pak listed in the ad, and only got one mic... obviously they still haven't fixed it.. they brushed it off, blamed the supplier and refused to deliver the product paid for... terrible experience... yes it says triple-pak, but it is most definatley not... shame on amazon for passing the buck and not taking responsibilty and/or appropriate action/service response to their own admitted error... All their billions, and they can't honor an ad They Listed and instead blame the supplier...?   Poor... I'd think twice about ordering

**Q: I'm shopping for an aspiring singer-drummer and I already purchased this, but is there anything else I need for him to get started?**
A: A mic cable and a mic stand would be something they'd need. Unless they have them already.

**Q: Does this mic need a interface? Like the Scarlett 2i2?**
A: This mic is for live sound or studio. If you want to run directly into a computer, then yes you would need an interface. There are other mics that are already set up for this with usb connection. Send an email to hmtmail@hmtrad.com with your inquiry. Thanks, David

**Q: My instrument condenser mic requires that phantom power be on, and when it's on, both channels have 48v. Will phantom adversely affect this mic?**
A: The phantom power is necessary to drive the preamp in your condenser. Your Beta 57 has no preamp, so there is no effect... and no harm. Being able to turn the phantom power off, with the switch, allows you to plug in your condenser without getting that loud pop from your speakers. Just plug in any mic or instrument that has a preamp, before switching on the phantom power.

Industry standard excellent mic

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Twenty years old and this mic is still going strong.
*by P***N on 19 November 2023*

So I lost the blue rubber band but other than that this beauty is as good as the day I bought it. I've used it for clarinet, cajon, djembe, vocal, and more. I've lent it around and people love it. Just this morning the sound guy I lent it too said he's so impressed he's going to buy one himself.
