The Shure-fire Way to Record Acoustic Instruments!
You won't necessarily find a Shure SM81 in
every studio — but you'll certainly find a pair in any
successful studio. If you want to know why, then you've got to plug one in and point it at an acoustic guitar. It's true, even though SM81s make excellent overheads, choir mics, and they're totally solid on brass, they really shine when you use them to record acoustic guitars. They've got ruler flat frequency responses that run 20Hz-20kHz, so they really capture the way acoustic instruments sound. Plus, they've also got 10dB pads onboard and selectable rolloff settings, which means they'll still sound great even when the action gets hot. So do yourself and your studio a favor, pick up a pair of Shure SM81s today!
