Why We Love This Product!

The Mic You've Been Looking For!

Finally, someone's gone and made a super-convenient, modular small-diaphragm side-address condenser microphone - and that someone is (not surprisingly) Shure. Yeah, that's right, check it out: the Shure Beta 181. You know what's so freaking cool about the Beta 181? This slick little mic can fit where regular pencil mics just can't. That makes the Beta 181 totally awesome for cymbals, amps, acoustic instruments - you name it! Plus, the Beta 181 can handle super-high SPLs, so no matter where you stick it, it's cool.

This Beta 181/C's got a cardioid pickup pattern. That means the Beta 181/C doesn't just fit wherever you need it to go, it also has a nice broad front end hot side and excellent side rejection. What's even cooler is that if you need another pickup pattern, you can always pick up another Beta 181 capsule and swap them out. Talk about a sweet little mic!
