The Shure SM81 is a professional condenser instrument microphone renowned for its precise, detailed sound reproduction. Engineered for studio recording and live sound, the SM81 features a cardioid polar pattern, ensuring focused pickup while minimizing ambient noise. Its flat frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz) delivers natural, accurate sound, making it ideal for acoustic instruments, pianos, cymbals, and orchestral performances. Built with a rugged steel construction, the SM81 withstands demanding environments, while the -10 dB pad and switchable low-frequency roll-off provide versatile recording and sound reinforcement options. With phantom power operation and low self-noise, the Shure SM81 is a trusted choice for musicians, engineers, and AV professionals.
