Dont lose the sound you love. Replicate what you hear with stunning realism. When you record with the shure sm81 its like holding a mirror to your instrument. The mics uniquely flat frequency response means theres absolutely no colouration 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 its the microphone youll need to come back to time and time again.
