Shure R176 Cartridge for BETA 58A
Product Overview
The Shure R176 is a direct replacement cartridge for the Shure BETA 58A supercardioid dynamic microphone. It matches the original factory cartridge and restores full audio performance on a worn or damaged BETA 58A, making it the correct OEM service part for rental companies, touring companies, and AV service contractors managing BETA 58A inventory. The R176 eliminates the cost and delay of full microphone replacement for cartridge-level failures.
Product Description
The R176 installation procedure for the BETA 58A involves removing the screen and grille assembly, extracting the old cartridge using snap-ring pliers, threading the new cartridge leads through the handle, soldering the blue lead to pin 2 and the red lead to pin 3 of the XLR connector, and reassembling the housing. The full procedure is documented in the Shure R176 replacement cartridge guide. The BETA 58A is among the most widely used handheld vocal microphones in commercial AV, houses of worship, and touring audio, and stocking the R176 ensures rapid in-house repair capability for organizations that rely on it. Proper cartridge orientation is required — leads must be aligned with the nameplate and must not be pinched between the cartridge and case during reassembly.
