The PGA81 is designed to make articulate and lifelike recordings easy. It faithfully reproduces the sound you hear in the room, with a flat frequency response that eliminates hyped highs or boomy lows. The small diaphragm reacts precisely to the tiniest sounds, ensuring that no quiet details get lost. Unlike many small diaphragm condensers, the PGA81 provides a generous amount of bass response, reproducing the lowest notes of your instrument accurately. Its cardioid polar pattern keeps the focus on the performance, rejecting unwanted background noise and making it suitable for use on noisy stages.
Shure is renowned for building the most reliable microphones in the world, and the PGA81 is no exception. It has been rigorously tested to withstand different environments, including heat, cold, humidity, and the Shure drop test. With its robust metallic finish, the PGA81 is built to last.
