Shure PGA181 Condenser Microphone

A mic for all occasions

Years of engineering excellence have lead to this superior one-mic-solution for hobbyists and professionals. The PGA181 Condenser can get great results with vocals, amps, strings, horns, drums or cymbals. Anything!

Your sound will stay clean and focused thanks to the mic's cardioid polar pattern, which rejects unwanted background noise. And the discrete design is ideal for placing in tight spots, from your bedroom to the stage.
