Introduction
Shure models BETA 53
and BETA 54
are subminiature, electret condenser headworn microphones. They provide
uncompromised sound quality and reliability with minimal visibility in applications such as broadcast, theater, and
touring. Despite their small size, each microphone’s condenser element delivers full, clear, and natural reproduction of
speech and vocals. The microphone features a durable, low-prole wire frame headband which is fully adjustable for
stability and comfort. A plastic carrying case protects the microphone and its accessories.
BETA 53 Features
Omnidirectional polar pattern for minimal handling noise and exible microphone placement
Extended, at frequency response provides accurate speech and vocal reproduction
Two interchangeable protective caps for response shaping
Foam windscreens minimize breath noise and “popping”
Available with an in-line preamp or with a TA4F connector for wireless applications
Choice of black or tan nish to suit your performance environment
BETA 54 Features
Supercardioid polar pattern provides maximum gain-before-feedback and ambient rejection
Extended frequency response tailored for vocal performances
Able to handle extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL)
Snap-t foam windscreens stay in place during intensive movement
Available with an in-line preamp or with a TA4F connector for wireless applications
Choice of black or tan nish to suit your performance environment

Using the Windscreens and Protective Caps
Grip the internal frame of the windscreen rmly when connecting or
removing. Do not pull on the foam itself.
• To connect, push the windscreen until it snaps into place over the
cartridge.
• To remove, pull the windscreen directly off of the cartridge.
Always use the BETA 54 with
the standard protective cap only.
Using the microphone with no
cap, or with the ltered cap, will
degrade sound quality and alter
the microphone’s polar pattern.
BETA 53
BETA 54
Standard protective cap
• Gold mesh
• No attenuation
Filtered protective cap
• Silver mesh
Attenuates high frequencies
(see page 61)
• Foam windscreens may be cleaned with soap and water.
• For the best sound quality, replace damaged or clogged
protective caps and windscreens.
