The Shure PG81 is a Cardioid Condenser (electret bias) microphone ideal for capturing sound from acoustic instruments.
The PG81 has a frequency response of 40Hz to 18kHz, providing linear, smooth signal reproduction of acoustic guitar, cymbals, piano, strings, woodwinds and ensembles. The microphone has a slim-profile design, making it ideal for overhead drum placement.
Features:
- Flat frequency response is wide and uniform
- Consistent sensitivity through frequency range
- Cardioid polar pattern less susceptible to feedback in high volume settings
- Condenser cartridge has a lightweight, sensitive diaphragm
- Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances
- Powered by AA battery or phantom power supply
- Internal shock mount for reduced handling noise.
- Durable metal construction
- On/off switch for onstage control
- PG81-XLR Includes 5.75m (15 ft) XLR to XLR Cable, Microphone Clip, 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch Thread Adapter, Storage Bag, AA Battery
