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.
