Shure WB98H/C Clip-On Instrument Mic with TA4F Connector

The Shure WB98H/C is a cardioid condenser microphone that clips directly to brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments, giving players a clean sound without needing a bulky stand. Built around the WB98H/C capsule, it connects through a TA4F plug to any Shure bodypack transmitter, so it drops seamlessly into existing Shure wireless setups on stage or in the studio.

A flexible gooseneck with a ratcheting swivel joint lets you position the capsule exactly where it sounds best, while the integrated angle brace keeps that position locked in during energetic performances or quick instrument changes. Because the microphone handles sound pressure levels up to 155 dB, it captures a fortissimo trumpet blast or a close-miked snare hit without overload. The transformerless preamp circuit maintains a linear 20 Hz to 20 kHz response, preserving the natural tone of the instrument and offering a wide 132 dB dynamic range.

Players who move often—such as marching band members, pit orchestra woodwinds, or horn sections in small clubs—will appreciate the low-profile design that stays out of the way yet keeps the microphone close to the source for strong gain before feedback. Engineers benefit from the cardioid pattern that rejects stage noise and neighboring instruments, making it easier to build a clear mix in loud environments.

The 1.6 m attached cable reaches comfortably from the instrument to a belt-worn pack, and the rugged clip grips securely without marring lacquer or plating. Whether you are recording a delicate flute solo in the studio or reinforcing a loud percussion ensemble on a festival stage, the WB98H/C delivers reliable, detailed capture in a package built for daily use.
