The Shure WB98H/C is a high end cardioid condenser instrumental microphone that clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. The Shure WB98/HC 's integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allows the microphone to be easily positioned and secured in place, and an isolation shock-mount reduces the transmission of instrument 'key noise' and other mechanical noise. A gooseneck angle brace is included to provide better retention of the microphone placement during more active performances. WB98H/C with 5.3 ft. cable terminated to 4-Pin Mini-Connector.
