I know the Beta87 are some great microphones when in the hands of a good vocalist who know mic control.  I am looking to upgrade the SM58 and Beta58 capsules to the Beta87 flavor.  The 10 piece band I am working for uses a mix of IEM and Wedges; the Vocalist and drummer on IEMs and the instruments (horns, guitar, bass, keys) are on wedges.  According to Shure’s website the A is for wedges and C is for IEM.  Looking at the polar charts, I would think the C would be better for wedges than the A.  The band performs at weddings and corporate events; at weddings they like to interact with the crowd.  Which one would be better for an “all around” mic?


Or the SM86 is an option.


These are going on Wireless mics, I have a combination of SLX and ULX; But and I am planning on getting the ULX-D Quad system next year.
