"SM-81 IS THE MAC-DADDY OF MICS"

Feature:
I hate the foam windscreen that come it. We use the Wintech 1200

Quality:
Road Rugged I have dropped mine several times it stills works great

Value:
Well worth money. but can get expensive when you one for everybody but you get what you pay for.

Sound:
Our quartet uses it for all four parts. We set all four mic alike except mine is a little hotter because I am the bass singer. JD Sumner & the Stamps and the Master's V used all SM-81. This is the cleanest mic I have ever sang over in my 30+ years in gospel. It give a clean respone when I sing those ultra notes, or the tenor hits that high c to when the lead or baritone sing on e of those tear jerkers I have not found a place it did not sound good

About Shure
S.N. Shure began his company's relationship with the products of personal sound by launching a one-man operation in 1925 that sold radio parts kits. Since then, Shure microphones and audio electronics have been the tools of choice for politicians, musicians, corporations, churches, and broadcasters across the world. Anyone who considers sound to be an important part of his or her self-expression has probably used one of Shure's microphones, phonograph needles, or other professional audio products.
