The Shure SM81 is a high-quality, unidirectional condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response, low noise characteristics, and low RF susceptibility have made it a standard for applications involving acoustic instruments, especially guitar, piano, and cymbals. Built to withstand the rigors of regular stage and studio use, the Shure SM81 unidirectional condenser microphone is a great choice for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement. Its wide frequency response, low noise characteristics, and low RF susceptibility make it a perfect match for applications involving acoustic instruments, especially guitar, piano, and cymbals. Ruggedly constructed, the SM81 operates on phantom power and performs over a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions. It comes with a swivel adapter, attenuator-switch lock, foam windscreen, and case for carrying and storage.
