Shure WB98H/C Overview

The WB98H/C is a cardioid, mini-condenser instrumental microphone designed to clearly capture the sounds of today's professional horn players. The pickup pattern of the WB98H/C provides high gain-before-feedback and excellent rejection of unwanted noise. With a high maximum sound pressure level (SPL), the WB98H/C is ready to handle the demands of brass and woodwind instruments, and is a strong performer for percussion applications.

The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint of the WB98H/C allows for easy microphone positioning and securing. Once the position is determined, the gooseneck angle brace ensures that the WB98H/C will stay in place during even the most active performances.

Shure WB98H/C Reviews

Shure Continues To Be A Sure Thing

We Run All Shure Wireless So When I Needed A Clip On Mic For A Trumpet In A Hurry, I Was Glad To See This One From Shure At B&H With A TA4F Connector On It And Ready To Go Wireless For The Band Conductor To Make A Cameo Performance. No Clunky XLR Transformers And Adapter Cables Needed. Our AKG C418 Wired Clip-ons Stayed In The Drawer. It Was 100% Trouble Free And Delivered Perfect Sound.

Great sound and durable!

This is a great mic for saxophonists. I purchased it to replace the one that came with my original wireless system I bought in 2006 to tour with Anita Baker. I love it's sound and durability. I move a lot when I perform, and I had to replace it because the plastic housing broke after 8 years of me abusing it all over the country. Even thiough the clip broke, the mic kept on working. We duct taped it and I continued to use it in a few more local shows until my new one was shipped. Every now and then I run into a wireless frequency issue, but I bought the lower end system so I expect that from time to time. These are much better sounding and longer lasting than others I've owned in the past.

What is the difference between Shure WB98H/C and PGA98H-TQG?
Asked by: gm
the WB98/C has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, while the PGA is just 60Hz to 20kHz. The WB98H/C also can handle louder situations, with a max input level of 143.5dB, while the PGA's max is 130 dB. The WB98/C also has much higher output, which means that you do not have to turn up the input gain as high, which will keep it quieter.
