- Description
Details
Its wide frequency response, low noise characteristics and low RF susceptibility have made it a standard for applications involving acoustic instruments, especially guitar, piano and cymbals.
The SM81-LC is ruggedly constructed. It operates on phantom power and performs over a wide range of temperatures and humidity conditions. It is furnished with a swivel adapter, attenuator-switch lock, foam windscreen and case for carrying and storage.- Features
