Used Shure SM81 Condenser Microphone

This Shure SM81 is a legendary small-diaphragm condenser microphone renowned for its exceptionally flat frequency response, low self-noise, and accurate transient reproduction. Designed for professional studio and live sound applications, it has earned its reputation as one of the industry's go-to microphones for capturing acoustic instruments, drum overheads, pianos, strings, choirs, and other detailed sound sources with outstanding clarity.

This microphone is an excellent choice for engineers and musicians who need transparent, natural sound without excessive coloration. The SM81 features a cardioid polar pattern for excellent off-axis rejection, along with a built-in low-frequency roll-off switch and selectable pad to accommodate a wide range of recording and sound reinforcement situations. Its rugged construction and consistent performance have made it a trusted standard in studios, concert halls, and touring rigs for decades.

This microphone has been tested by our staff and is ready for its next recording session or performance.
