General

Condenser microphones are well known for their excellent sound quality. This Shure condenser microphone ensures high-quality reproduction of your instruments (especially acoustic instruments). This microphone, with its high-frequency emphasis, is especially well suited for acoustic instruments that usually sound quite warm, but don't sparkle in recordings. Examples of such instruments are: piano, acoustic guitar, cymbals and even complete ensembles. Thanks to the PG81's frequency range of 40 Hz to 18 kHz, these instruments will really come into their own with additional EQ.

The PG81 comes including a 4.5 m XLR to XLR cable, a microphone clip, 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch adapter and a handy carrying bag.

Shure PG81 XLR condenser instrument microphone
Wrote the following about Shure PG81 XLR condenser instrument microphone
Omdat ik in de buurt was heb de Bax shop in Goes eens bezocht. Prachtige winkel met een moderne uitstraling moet ik zeggen. Veel meer overzicht dan de winkel in Ibbenbuurn Duitsland.
Maar naar de microfoon.
De helft van mijn koor waarin ik zing bestaat uit dames die alle kanten opzingen behalve richting microfoon waardoor het moeilijk wordt het prachtige geluid via de speakers in de zaal te krijgen.
De Bax medewerker die ik het probleem voorlegde gaf het advies de PG81 te gebruiken. De dames hoeven dan niet in de microfoon te kruipen en de stemmen blijven op een afstand van 40 cm nog steeds goed hoorbaar. Met enig instelwerk is de klankkleur goed aan te passen. Een groot voordeel is dat het volume van de microfoon nu niet geheel opengedraaid moet worden. Nog een paar praktijktesten (optredens) en dan denk ik meerdere PG81 ers als vervanger aan te schaffen. Voerdeel van deze condensator mic is ook dat je de fantoom spanning kunt gebruiken. De microfoon vind ik wel wat prijzig.
Een instrument microfoon voor een koor, daar was ik niet op gekomen!!

Fantastische instap/pro microfoon voor een zeer redelijke prijs ook.
Vooral ook door de batterij die ervoor zorgt dat je deze mic ; zowel op fantoom,maar ook juist
op een gewone aansluiting kunt zetten , dus je toch de helderheid en gerichtheid van een condensator mic hebt.
Verder zeer goede en snelle service bij baX ,voor mij een blijvertje dus.
(zie mijn review bij de ook fantastische mics ;de Shure perception 170 )
