Detail 01
Supercardioid pattern
Tighter pickup than a standard cardioid. Better isolation on a loud stage, but you must sing or aim straight into it.

ShureBETA 57A Dynamic Mic With Cable and Stand 4-Pack
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four Shure BETA 57A dynamic mics, each with a cable and stand. A ready-to-run package for a small stage, rehearsal room, or practice space.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Miking a full drum kit or guitar cabs at once
- Rehearsal rooms needing four working mic positions immediately
- Small venues building a stage kit from nothing
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studios wanting condenser detail on acoustic sources
- Anyone who already owns stands and cables - pay less for mics alone
- Podcast or voiceover work needing a large-diaphragm mic
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Dynamic
No phantom power needed, and it handles very high volume without distorting. Plugs into any mixer channel.
Detail 03
BETA 57A specifically
Brighter and more present than an SM57. Handles both instrument cabs and vocals, unlike a dedicated instrument mic.
Detail 04
Four complete rigs
Each mic ships with its own cable and stand, so four inputs go live with no additional purchases.
Detail 05
Supercardioid rear lobe
Picks up some sound directly behind it. Position monitors off to the sides, not straight back, to avoid feedback.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a mixer or interface with four XLR inputs to use all four
- 02Check stand type - desk versus full boom changes what positions work
- 03No mic clips guaranteed beyond what ships mounted on each stand
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these need phantom power?
No. Dynamic mics run passively. Phantom power will not damage them, but it does nothing either. Plug straight into any XLR input.
02BETA 57A or SM57?
The BETA 57A is brighter, hotter in output, and supercardioid for tighter isolation. The SM57 is flatter and more forgiving of off-axis placement.
03Can I use these for vocals?
Yes. The BETA 57A works on vocals and instruments. Being supercardioid, singers need to stay directly on axis or level drops noticeably.
04Is buying the 4-pack cheaper than four separate mics?
The pack bundles cables and stands with each mic. Compare against buying mics, cables, and stands separately for your setup.
