About this product

Product Information

The Shure Model 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. The SM81 is ruggedly constructed. It operates on phantom power and performs over a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions. It is furnished with a swivel adapter, attenuator-switch lock, foam windscreen, and case for carrying and storage. Features: 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.

  • Great mic! Love it for acoustic guitar

    This mic sounds great. It gets a good spectrum of sound and is a great compliment to my arsenal of mics for recording acoustic guitar mostly :)

  • Shure's Swiss Army Condenser.

    Can't ignore the versatility of this microphone. From instrument to voice, live stage to studio, I have not come across a situation where the SM-81 is not a viable solution. I own plenty of mics from Shure, Sennheiser, AKG, and AT, and they're all awesome. At this mic's price point, there are few that can compare.

  • It's Good

    This mic is clear and accurate in its reproduction of sound. I simultaneously use a Rode nt2 for my vocals and the Shure SM81 for my guitar. I'm able to do this w/o picking up my voice on the Shure, but getting a good, clear guitar. I really like this setup.

  • You Get What You Pay For

    Good bang for the buck. My Bluegrass playing wife uses it as a backup instrumental mic for guest guitar and mandolin players. Compared to a Neumann KM-184 it's flatter and less outstanding in the mix but has a wider range of tones because of its pad and bass rolloff.

  • Shure SM 81 microphone

    Introduced in 1978, and still an industry standard for stage and studio! Nothing sounds like a Shure SM 81, except a used SM 81!!! Can't go wrong!
