3 Must-Have Handheld Mics for Any Worship Team

SM58

The affordable SM58 is one of the most widely used vocal microphones. Worship leaders worldwide agree that the SM58 is vital to amplifying their ministry. And most importantly, your house of Worship budget will love them. These mics have a typical cardioid pattern and are built like a tank – meaning they can take a variety of abuse and still work beautifully. The SM58 also uses an internal shock mount to reduce handling noise.

BETA 87A

Due to an increased extension in its frequency response, the BETA 87A is excellent for low-pitched voices. The BETA 87A has a super-cardioid pattern. This mic has a noticeably brighter tone, and it helps vocalists stand out and break out of the mix. The Beta 87A microphones capture vocal subtlety with extraordinary detail to deliver clear articulation, functional flexibility, and precise vocal reproduction for live performance. Like all other Shure mics, the Beta 87A is built to withstand just about anything to ensure you can perform service after service, no matter how rough of a beating it takes.

BETA 58A

For modern worship services with drums and electric guitars, the BETA 58A will ensure your vocalists stand out. The BETA 58A microphone has been known as the vocalists’ best friend for decades, elevating vocal presence to cut through the other sounds. The brightened midrange and bass roll-off give the lead and background vocals a mighty presence in the mix. The supercardioid pattern works harder to isolate your sound from every other source in the air and allows for high gain before feedback. Beta 58A’s internal pneumatic shockmount minimizes handling noise as well.
