It is an industry-standard microphone for acoustic instruments, renowned for its accuracy on acoustic guitar, piano, and as drum overheads.
Yes, the SM81 is a condenser microphone that requires 11-52V DC phantom power, which is supplied by most professional audio interfaces, mixers, and external preamps.
The SM81 features a three-position switch to roll off low frequencies (flat, -6dB/octave, or -18dB/octave) and a lockable -10dB pad to prevent distortion when recording very loud sound sources.
Its cardioid polar pattern provides excellent rejection of off-axis sounds, helping to isolate the intended instrument and minimize room bleed and feedback.
The package includes the SM81 microphone, a swivel stand adapter (mic clip), a foam windscreen, an attenuator-switch lock, and a protective carrying case. The 'LC' designation means it does not include an XLR cable.
Absolutely. The SM81 features a rugged, vinyl-coated steel construction designed to perform reliably over a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions, making it suitable for both studio and stage.
