Shure SM81 Professional Condenser Microphone for Instruments!
The SM81 is a legendary, high-quality condenser microphone. On acoustic instruments it delivers a clear, uncolored sound. That's why professional audio engineers widely favor it. It's loaded with features: three-stage attenuation, a switchable high-pass filter, a very linear frequency response and an extremely wide frequency range.
Who Is the SM81 Right For?
The SM81 is the right choice for professionals who demand top performance when miking acoustic instruments. True to Shure's rugged reputation, engineers use it both in the studio and on stage.
How Does the SM81 Sound?
The SM81 enables highly natural reproduction: its extremely linear frequency response and very wide frequency range keep the sound uncolored. The three-position switchable low-cut filter reduces background noise and minimizes the proximity effect. The switchable -10 dB attenuation prevents distortion even with loud sources.
Where Does Its Legendary Status Come From?
The SM81 has been available since 1979, already back then combining studio-quality sound with stage-ready durability. Since then it's been used at countless gigs and on thousands of successful music productions.
