PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Cardioid condenser instrument microphone offers a wide frequency response and low self-noise. Features include flat response curve, low noise and high output clipping level, low distortion over a range of load impedances, and low RF susceptibility.

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.

• 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response

• Flat response curve for accurate reproduction of sound sources

• Low noise and high output clipping level

• Low distortion over a wide range of load impedances

• Cardioid polar pattern, uniform with frequency and symmetric about axis, providing maximum rejection and minimum coloration of off-axis sounds

• Low RF susceptibility

• Selectable low-frequency response: flat, 6 or 18 dB/octave rolloff

• 0 dB/10 dB lockable attenuator switch

• Phantom powering (DIN 45 596 voltages of 12 to 48 Vdc)

• Rugged steel construction for durability

• Field-usable over wide range of temperature and humidity conditions
