Introduction
Shure models BETA 53 and BETA 54 are subminiature, electret condenser headworn microphones.
They provide uncompromised sound quality and reliability with minimal visibility in applications such
as broadcast, theater, and touring. Despite their small size, each microphone’s condenser element
delivers full, clear, and natural reproduction of speech and vocals. The microphone features a du-
rable, low-profile wire frame headband which is fully adjustable for stability and comfort. A plastic car-
rying case protects the microphone and its accessories.
BETA 53 Features
• Omnidirectional polar pattern for minimal handling noise and flexible microphone placement
• Extended, flat frequency response provides accurate speech and vocal reproduction
• Two interchangeable protective caps for response shaping
• Foam windscreens minimize breath noise and “popping”
• Available with an in-line preamp or with a TA4F connector for wireless applications
• Choice of black or tan finish to suit your performance environment
BETA 54 Features
• Supercardioid polar pattern provides maximum gain-before-feedback and ambient rejection
• Extended frequency response tailored for vocal performances
• Able to handle extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL)
• Snap-fit foam windscreens stay in place during intensive movement
• Available with an in-line preamp or with a TA4F connector for wireless applications
• Choice of black or tan finish to suit your performance environment

Adjusting the Headband and Microphone
①Adjust headband width
②Adjust boom height
③Adjust boom length
④Do not attempt to bend the microphone boom!
⑤“Roll” the boom for subtle adjustments of microphone position
4Using the Windscreens and Protective Caps
Windscreen
Grip the internal frame of the windscreen firmly when connecting
or removing. Do not pull on the foam itself.
• To connect, push the windscreen until it snaps into place over
the cartridge.
• To remove, pull the windscreen directly off of the cartridge.
Protective Caps
Standard protective cap:
• Gold mesh
• No attenuation
Filtered protective cap:
• Silver mesh
• Attenuates high frequencies
Care and Maintenance
• Foam windscreens may be cleaned with soap and water.
• For the best sound quality, replace damaged or clogged
protective caps and windscreens.
Important: Always use the BETA 54
with the standard protective cap only.
Using the microphone with no cap,
or with the filtered cap, will degrade
sound quality and alter the micro-
phone’s polar pattern.
