<h2>What is the SM81 best suited to?</h2>

The SM81 is the perfect choice for a professional musician or sound engineer who is looking to mic up acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitar, piano and cymbals. It can ideally be used on stage and because of its high quality is also at home in the recording studio.&nbsp;

<h2>What characteristics can I expect when using an SM81?</h2>

The SM81 has a flat response curve for accurate reproduction of the sound source and can also be modified via a bass roll off switch. The 0dB/10bB lockable attenuator switch gives you even more flexibility when miking up loud sound sources and it has a cardioid polar pattern which isolates the main sound source while minimizing handling noise.

Why It’s Better

18” gooseneck microphones treat spoken audio with detail and respect, delivering what the audience needs to hear while controlling what they don’t.

The right speech doesn’t just inform. It can excite and even transform those who hear it. So, we designed the MX418 to treat spoken audio with the detail and respect it deserves. Because clarity commands attention.

<h2>Beta 181 Applications</h2>

This Beta 181 is a multipurpose instrument microphone and can be used on a wide variety of applications including guitars, bass and drums (overheads and snares). A total of four different capsules (Cardioid, Supercardioid, Bi-directional, Omni-directional) are available, allowing you to interchange them according to application.

<h2>Interchangable Capsule Options</h2>

The RPM181/C is a cardioid condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;The RPM181/S is a super cardioid condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;The RPM181/BI&nbsp;is a bi-directional condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;The RPM181/O is a omni directional condenser capsule for the Beta 181.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h2>Applications for the different capsules&nbsp;</h2>

The cardioid capsule is best suited to overheads, piano and acoustic instruments. You can also use the cardioid capsule for M/S stereo micing (in conjunction with another microphone with a bi-directional capsule). &nbsp;The supercardioid capsule is best suited to snare, toms, acoustic instruments and other forms of close distance micing. The omni-directional capsule could be used for choirs, orchestras and ambient recording applications. Lastly, the Bi-directional capsule can be used for mono overheads, or for the recording of two instruments simultaneously on one channel.&nbsp;

<h2>In the Box</h2>

The Beta 181 can be purchased with any one of the four mic capsules available. You&#39;ll then need to buy any additional capsules you want seperately. &nbsp;&nbsp;
