Actually, the difference between the Beta87A and the Beta87C is more of a
tonal difference, not that one is aimed more towards in-ears. I have 16-channels
of their top of the line U4 series (about $2,000 per channel--ouch!) and
also use the Beta87 element, sounds good. I prefer the KSM9, but I'd have
to buy wireless clip-on transmitters and those mics--at $700 per mic and
then another $1,000 per clip-on trasnmitter, NO THANKS! :-)

The KSM9 head is available as a part that will screw on to
your U2 Transmitter. BTW, the UR series is now the top of
the line and the U4 is discontinued.

Wile I do agree with Brad and Dave, one thing I shared was a bit misleading.
I have actually been using the Shure 87 wireless series for a couple of years
while touring with Will Downing and others. I have used the mic in large
venues (5,000 plus seating), as well as smaller venues (2,500 and less).
I had not, however used the mic in a small band room/setting (100 to 500
seating type venue).
My statement about the mic being "geared towards inner ear monitoring" could
have been more acurately stated...as it says on the box "...the frequency
response is preferred by in ear monitor users" for those who prefer exact
vebatim. I also followed this detail up with a couple of Shure reps.
