Shure Sm81

The SM81 is a legendary, high-quality condenser microphone. It delivers clear, unadulterated sound on acoustic instruments. That's why it's very popular with professional sound engineers. The equipment is extensive: three-stage damping, switchable high-pass filter, very linear frequency response and very wide frequency range.

WHO IS THE SM81 THE RIGHT MICROPHONE FOR?
The SM81 is the right choice for professionals with high demands in the acceptance of acoustic instruments. Shure-typically robust, it is used both in the studio and on stage by sound engineers.

HOW DOES THE SM81 SOUND?
The SM81 allows very lifelike reproduction: The extremely linear frequency response and the very wide frequency range ensure that nothing is distorted. The triple switchable low cut filter reduces background noise and reduces the proximity effect. The switchable -10 dB attenuation prevents distortion even with loud instruments.

WHERE DOES THE LEGENDARY STATUS COME FROM?
The SM81 has been available since 1979 and combined studio sound with stage-ready robustness. Since then it has been used in countless gigs and thousands of successful music productions.

Summary:
High-quality pre-polarized condenser microphone | Linear frequency response for true-to-original sound reproduction | Cardioid characteristic for maximum isolation of the signal source and reduced background noise | Low inherent noise and high overload protection | Distortion-free recordings even at high sound pressure | Low high-frequency interference sensitivity | 3-stage switchable high-pass filter: linear, 6 or 18 dB/octave reduction | Switchable 10 dB attenuation
