Additional Information

Customer Review Summary

The Shure PGA98H-TQG is an excellent microphone that comes well-protected in its transport case, making it perfect for on-the-go use. I utilise it for capturing brass and percussion sounds, connecting it to a Sennheiser wireless system with an adapter. The microphone delivers a clear, rich sound and is incredibly easy to handle.

This model represents the budget end of Shure products, yet it consistently provides impressive results. Having previously used the Beta 98H, which is the top range of Shure clip-on microphones, I can confidently say that the PGA98H-TQG holds its own and even surpasses it in terms of build quality. The sound performance does not disappoint either, making it highly recommended for live performances.

Overall, the Shure PGA98H-TQG offers great value for money, combining quality construction with excellent audio output, making it an outstanding choice for musicians and performers alike.
