The PGA81 Cardioid Condenser Microphone from Shure is ideal for use in sensitive acoustic instrumental performances and recording applications. Its industrial design boasts a black metallic finish and grille, allowing it to visually blend into any environment, from stage to studio. Its flat-response cartridge is precision-engineered for clear reproductions of your sound source, while its cardioid polar pattern efficiently “aims” at the desired sound source while minimizing pickup of unwanted noise from the back and sides.
The PGA81 comes with a stand adapter that allows you to mount it to a microphone stand. Also included in the box is a zippered pouch for safe transport and secure storage. PGA81-XLR includes XLR to XLR cable. PGA81-LC does not include cable.
