Superior build quality ensures top-shelf sound
The Shure SM81 offers top-shelf performance in an endless array of applications and environments. Its uniform cardioid pickup pattern offers exceptional isolation with minimum off-axis coloration, while its ultra-smooth response curve ensures accurate sonic reproduction of anything you put in front of it. It exhibits low noise and high output, along with a negligible level of distortion over a wide range of load impedances. Low RF susceptibility mitigates radio interference. What’s more, the SM81 features super-rugged vinyl-coated steel construction and is field-usable in an infinite range of temperature and humidity conditions.
An industry standard with pro-level features
The SM81 is teeming with pro-level features. A 3-position switch allows you to adjust the low-frequency response of the microphone (flat, 6dB, or 18dB/octave roll-off), which is ideal for minimizing wind noise, room noise, and proximity effect. A lockable -10dB pad enables you to use the SM81 to capture extra-loud sources without altering the mic’s frequency response.
