EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of music history - the cordless microphone used by Rakim to record his iconic album "The 18th Letter" in 1997. Created by Shure, this wireless microphone is a symbol of innovation and artistic expression. The hand-held microphone features a sleek design with a circular silver mesh wire grill that covers the foam interior, ensuring optimal sound quality. The black plastic cylindrical handle is not only comfortable to hold but also bears the prestigious Shure brand name and model number "BETA 58A" printed in silver type. What sets this microphone apart is its advanced technology. The top half of the handle boasts a small square digital display screen bordered by gray plastic, displaying crucial information such as frequency range ("L3 638-698 MHz"). On two opposing sides at the bottom half of the handle, white type proudly reads "UR2" further emphasizing its cutting-edge capabilities. For convenience and durability, the bottom half of the handle can be unscrewed to reveal a battery chamber that holds two batteries for extended recording sessions. Additionally, there's an intuitive digital push-button menu located below the display screen with buttons for navigation ("up-facing arrow" "enter" "down-facing arrow" and "exit"). This remarkable creation from Shure has played an integral role in capturing Rakim's powerful vocals on his groundbreaking album. It stands as both an artifact representing technological advancements in music production and a testament to Rakim's artistry that continues to inspire generations of musicians today.
