Product Overview
The Shure PGA98H-XLR cardioid condenser gooseneck instrument microphone is built for wind and brass instruments in live sound and commercial AV applications. A horn clamp and flexible gooseneck position the capsule on the instrument for hands-free capture, while the cardioid pattern rejects stage bleed. This XLR variant includes an in-line belt-clip preamplifier and connects to a standard 3-pin XLR input. Phantom power is required.
Product Description
The PGA98H is a professional condenser microphone optimized for clear reproduction of wind instruments, including woodwinds and brass. The integrated horn clamp attaches the microphone directly to the instrument, and the flexible gooseneck and rotating swivel base let the performer aim the capsule at the sound source for consistent capture. The cardioid polar pattern improves isolation and feedback control in reinforced rooms such as houses of worship, auditoriums, and multi-purpose performance spaces. This XLR model uses an in-line preamplifier with an integrated belt clip and a standard 3-pin XLR output, running on phantom power from a mixer or AV processor for wired stage and pit applications.
