<h2>What is the Beta 91A best suited to?</h2>

<p>The primary use of the Beta 91A is kick drums. It can also be used for other low frequency applications including piano. </p>

<h2>What are the characteristics of the Beta 91A?</h2>

<p>The Beta 91A is a half cardioid condenser boundary microphone. You can expect a strong low end response as it is specifically tailored for bass frequency applications, and superior attack and punch for studio quality sound even at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). </p>

<h2>What is the difference between the Beta 91A and the Beta 91?</h2>

<p>The Beta 91A features a new and updated microphone capsule. The new capsule will result in a more natural high frequency response than the Beta 91.</p>

<h2>Are there any other Shure Kick Drum microphones? </h2>

<p>The Beta 52A is a super cardioid microphone and is also suited to kick drums. With the Beta 52A you can expect even more low end.</p>

<h2>Beta 181 Applications</h2>

<p>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.</p>

<h2>Interchangable Capsule Options</h2>

<p>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;</p>

<h2>Applications for the different capsules&nbsp;</h2>

<p>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;</p>

<h2>In the Box</h2>

<p>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;</p>

Shure are pleased to have won a coveted TEC Award for excellence in audio during Namm 2012 for the Beta 181 microphone 

TEC Awards 2012

In many applications where a large diaphram side-address condenser might be a desirable, but impractical choice for live music, the Beta 181 offers a fresh solution. A full, rich, well-defined sound in a microphone that goes where many others can’t. Impeccable performance in a neat versatile package.

Bright, accurate.  Great rejection.  Great as a discrete overhead. Nice ''sticky'' hi hat sound. Lovely on a flat ride



Mike Dolbear.com – July 2011

Whether live or in the studio, the Beta 181 would serve you as a very multi-purpose condenser microphone thanks to its modular design. As such, it is a very interesting addition to Shure’s venerable Beta Series.
