Don’t lose the sound you love. Replicate what you hear with stunning realism. When you record with the Shure SM81, it’s like holding a mirror to your instrument. The mic’s uniquely flat frequency response means there’s absolutely no coloration to your sound. No misrepresentation. Just an authentic reflection of the sound in front of you.
First introduced in 1978, the SM81 condenser soon became known as a laser-precise studio tool. Unlike most mics, it stays completely accurate in the crucial 5kHz to 10kHz range. Acoustic guitars, hi-hats, pianos, choirs. Pretty much anything can be recorded in immaculate quality. And thanks to a vinyl-coated steel design, the SM81 has been built for the long haul. A good thing as it’s the microphone you’ll need to come back to time and time again.
