BETA 181/O Condenser Microphone with Omnidirectional Capsule

The Shure Beta 181 is an ultra-compact, side-address, condenser microphone, designed for discreet placement in live and studio environments. Featuring interchangeable capsules for superior versatility, the small diaphragm of the Beta 181 provides superior audio with consistent, “textbook” polar responses in a form factor small enough to get close to the source in the tightest conditions. The omni-directional capsule could be used for choirs, orchestras and ambient recording applications.
