Description

Capture the true essence of your instruments with the Shure SM81-LC. This professional cardioid condenser microphone is designed to deliver high-quality sound for guitars, pianos, and cymbals. It provides a flat and accurate response across a wide frequency range from 0 Hz to 20 kHz, making it a reliable choice for studio and live applications. The SM81-LC features a cardioid polar pattern that is uniform with frequency and symmetric about the axis. This design helps ensure maximum rejection of unwanted noise and minimizes coloration from off-axis sounds, allowing your primary instrument to stand out in the mix. With low noise performance and a high output clipping level, you can trust this microphone to handle professional recording demands with clarity. This kit comes ready for use with a swivel adapter, windscreen, and a carrying case for easy transport. It requires phantom powering (12 to 48 Vdc) to operate. Whether you are recording a delicate piano piece or a driving guitar track, the Shure SM81-LC offers the precision and consistency needed for professional audio results.
