No, the BETA 58A is a dynamic microphone, meaning it does not require phantom power. It is powered directly by the transmitter's internal rechargeable battery.
The transmitter provides up to 12 hours of continuous use on a full charge. You can recharge the proprietary Lithium-Ion battery directly within the transmitter or by using a compatible Shure charging dock.
The system is designed for effortless setup. It features automatic frequency management and automatic pairing, meaning the transmitter and receiver will find and lock onto a clear channel without requiring manual configuration.
No, the GLXD2+/B58 operates in the 2.4 and 5.8GHz bands, which are license-free globally. You can use it in most locations without worrying about regulatory permits.
The supercardioid pattern is highly directional, meaning it captures sound primarily from the front while rejecting noise from the sides. This makes it an excellent choice for loud stages, as it helps minimize feedback and isolates your voice from other instruments.
