Shure Beta 181 Side Address Bidirectional Condenser Microphone
The Shure Beta 181 is a compact side address condenser microphone designed for recording instruments. It is specifically created for discreet placement and versatility in tight conditions. This version of the microphone comes with a bidirectional capsule, which makes it ideal for capturing mono drum overhead dual sources and more. Additionally, it can be interchanged with a range of other capsules available from Shure for different recording purposes.

Included in the package are 1 x Beta 181/Bi, 1 x A57F Mic Clip, 1 x A181C Zippered Carrying Case, and 1 x A181WS Windscreen. The Beta 181 has an ultra-compact design, making it an excellent choice for situations with limited space and the need for discreet placement. Its size also allows for easy use on crowded stages or as a reliable studio microphone. The microphone ensures that every nuance of your sound is captured with its smooth ultra-flat frequency response. Its robust build guarantees durability for long-lasting use.

The RPM181 Bidirectional capsule included with this model captures sound from two directions, making it suitable for recording two sound sources on a single mono track. It can also serve as a mono drum overhead microphone, providing a quick capture. Pairing it with another bidirectional microphone enables the Blumlein technique, which accurately captures the spatial characteristics of recordings.

Notable features of the Shure Beta 181 include high-quality sound, a super durable build, and reliability. The bidirectional capsule is perfect for capturing mono drum overhead dual sources or implementing the blumlein stereo technique. Its compact preamp is attached to the microphone capsule, allowing for easy positioning in tight spaces discreetly. The steel grille is resistant to dents, water, and abuse. The package also comes with a stand adapter and a carrying case, making it convenient for on-the-go use.
