GENERAL
The Shure Beta 53 is a subminiature, electret condenser headworn microphone. It is
intended for wireless use in sound reinforcement applications that require minimal vis-
ibility and maximum mobility, such as stage performances.
Despite its small size, the microphone element provides full, articulate reproduction
of speech and vocals, and features an omnidirectional pick-up pattern.
The Beta 53 consists of an adjustable wireframe and boom that allows flexible place-
ment of the microphone cartridge. It is also supplied with two different equalization caps
that tailor the microphone’s high-frequency response. Acoustic windscreens are sup-
plied to minimize wind noise.

mesh color. The mild boost equalization cap has a silver mesh screen, while the high
boost equalization cap has a gold mesh screen.
