Shure PG81LC
Instrument Microphone

PG81LC

The PG81-LC is a sensitive, flat response condenser microphone is ideal for acoustic instruments. It includes a microphone clip, 5/8" to 3/8" thread adapter, and a storage bag.

Features:

• Cardioid polar pattern picks up the most sound from in front of the microphone and some sound from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume settings.
• Condenser cartridge has a lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances.
• Flat frequency response is wide and uniform. Consistent sensitivity through frequency range.
• Internal shock mount for reduced handling noise.
• Durable metal construction.
• Powered by AA battery or phantom power supply.
• On/off switch for onstage control.
