Where is Shure SM81 made?

Originally, made in the USA, the SM81, like many Shure mics, are assembled in its Juarez, Mexico plant. It is now It has been refined over the years to lower its noise floor and once was available with an optional omni-directional capsule.

What is the Shure SM81 used for?

The Shure SM81 is a high-quality, unidirectional condenser microphone designed for studio recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement.

What is the SM81 used for?

Shure SM81-LC is a very neutral and transparent instrument condenser with electret bias. It is mainly used in studios for recording of guitars, pianos and cymbals but it’s also suitable for a wide range of different instruments.

What are polar patterns in microphones?

Though it may sound a little complicated, a polar pattern simply describes a microphone’s inherent directionality. In more specific terms, polar patterns refer to the sensitivity of any given microphone to sounds arriving from different angles, to its central axis.

What polar pattern is best for vocal?

cardioid
The most commonly used polar pattern for recording vocals is cardioid, which is more sensitive to sound arriving from the front of the mic than the back. Cardioid mics have the advantage of reducing ambient noise; however, they will also colour the sound more than an omni-directional design.

What is an SM81 microphone used for?

Call to order! 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.

What makes the KSM141 so special?

Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments. A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns.

Why choose a cardioid condenser instrument microphone?

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. Loading Call to order!

What is a dual pattern instrument microphone?

Dual pattern instrument microphone offers transition between cardioid and omnidirectional patterns and features extended frequency response, pad for handling SPLs, a gold-layered Mylar diaphragm, and a subsonic filter for low frequency rumble.
