The Shure SM81-LC is an industry-standard, small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone renowned for its ruler-flat frequency response, exceptional transparency, and rugged steel construction. First released in 1978, this legendary "pencil" microphone remains a definitive studio and stage workhorse for capturing acoustic instruments with pristine, uncolored accuracy.
Top Applications
- Acoustic Guitars: Highly favored for its natural, unhyped high end and tight transient response.
- Drum Overheads & Hi-Hats: A go-to choice for capturing cymbals and drum kits without harshness.
- Piano & Strings: The linear response ensures exceptionally accurate reproduction of complex acoustic sources.
Key Specifications & Features
- Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, delivering an incredibly honest, neutral sound profile.
- Low-Frequency Filter: Built-in 3-position switch providing flat, 6 dB/octave, or 18 dB/octave roll-off to control proximity effect and low-end rumble.
- Pad Switch: Lockable 0 dB/-10 dB attenuator switch to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) without clipping.
- Power Requirements: Operates on standard 11V to 52V DC phantom power.
- Build Quality: Vinyl-coated steel housing engineered to perform across extreme temperature and humidity levels.
- What "LC" Means: The "LC" suffix simply stands for "Less Cable," meaning it does not include an XLR cable in the box. It ships with a swivel stand adapter, foam windscreen, attenuator lock, and carrying case.
