Choose the Best Polar Pattern for Any Application
The Shure Beta 181 Microphone Kit includes four interchangeable mic capsules — omni, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-8 — allowing you to choose the best polar pattern for any application in any room. Small diaphragm condenser microphones like the Beta 181 offer incredible accuracy and imaging, which makes them indispensable for capturing acoustic instruments, cymbals, and many other sound sources in the studio. However, positioning traditional pencil-style condensers has its challenges. That's what's so great about Shure's Beta 181 ultra-compact small-diaphragm side-address condenser microphones. This super-flexible microphone fits in places that traditional pencil condensers simply don't, giving you the same tight and focused sound, plus the flexibility to position your mics exactly where you need them.
