Professional Stage and Studio Sound in One Capsule The Shure RPW120 head utilizes a single capacitor element that has long been appreciated by vocalists, spoken word artists, and sound engineers worldwide. The Beta 87A, for which this head is designed, is one of the most popular capacitor microphones on stage—and for good reason. The frequency response is designed to emphasize the mid-high band, resulting in a more distinct vocal presence and better cut in the mix, even during the most intense performances. The supercardioid polar pattern of the head effectively isolates the sound source from the rest of the stage. Off-axis sound rejection means that percussion instruments, stage monitors, or other voices will not interfere with your signal. This ensures the audience hears every detail—from subtle vocal nuances to full, powerful phrases. Minimizing feedback is an additional benefit, especially during live concerts where acoustic conditions can be unpredictable. The head performs excellently in both stage and studio recording applications. In concert settings, it provides freedom of movement when paired with a Shure wireless transmitter, while in the studio, it offers the clarity and detail of top-tier capacitor microphones. Whether you work as a solo vocalist, band member, presenter, or spoken word artist, this head delivers sound that stands out from the competition.
