Paid for a triple pak listed in the ad, and only got one mic... obviously they still haven't fixed it.. they brushed it off, blamed the supplier and refused to deliver the product paid for... terrible experience... yes it says triple-pak, but it is most definatley not... shame on amazon for passing the buck and not taking responsibilty and/or appropriate action/service response to their own admitted error... All their billions, and they can't honor an ad They Listed and instead blame the supplier...? Poor... I'd think twice about ordering **Q: I'm shopping for an aspiring singer-drummer and I already purchased this, but is there anything else I need for him to get started?** A: A mic cable and a mic stand would be something they'd need. Unless they have them already. **Q: Does this mic need a interface? Like the Scarlett 2i2?** A: This mic is for live sound or studio. If you want to run directly into a computer, then yes you would need an interface. There are other mics that are already set up for this with usb connection. Send an email to hmtmail@hmtrad.com with your inquiry. Thanks, David **Q: My instrument condenser mic requires that phantom power be on, and when it's on, both channels have 48v. Will phantom adversely affect this mic?** A: The phantom power is necessary to drive the preamp in your condenser. Your Beta 57 has no preamp, so there is no effect... and no harm. Being able to turn the phantom power off, with the switch, allows you to plug in your condenser without getting that loud pop from your speakers. Just plug in any mic or instrument that has a preamp, before switching on the phantom power. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shure BETA 57A Instrument Microphone - Supercardioid Dynamic Mic for Vocal and Instrumental Applications with High Output Neodymium Element, Durable Steel Mesh Grille and Shock Mount - Shure BETA 58A Vocal Microphone - Single Element Supercardioid Dynamic Mic for Stage and Studio, Includes A25D Adjustable Stand Adapter, 5/8” to 3/8” (Euro) Thread Adapter and Storage Bag - Shure SM58 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone - Professional Studio & Live Performance Cardioid Mic for Vocals, Podcasting, and Recording (SM58-LC) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1780501-beta-57a-instrument-microphone-supercardioid-dynamic-mic-for-vocal-instrumental](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1780501-beta-57a-instrument-microphone-supercardioid-dynamic-mic-for-vocal-instrumental) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
