Shure R174 Cartridge for BETA 56, BETA 56A and BETA 57A

The R174 is a replacement cartridge for the Beta 56, Beta 56A, and Beta 57A supercardioid dynamic microphones. Shure states it delivers performance equal to the original cartridge supplied with those microphones. Cartridges take the brunt of stick strikes, moisture, and handling on a drum kit, so swapping the element restores original response and output without retiring the microphone body.
