Although the Beta's actually first came out in 1989, improvements were made soon after which resulted in the 'A' being added to the name. Unlike the Beta 57A which is an instrument mic with occasional vocal duties, this is predominantly a vocal mic, with a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals. There is also a brightened midrange and bass rolloff to control proximity effect. An advanced pneumatic shock mount system is also included for securely mounting the mic and protecting against sibilant noise and floor vibration.
