Shure SM86 Vocal Microphone
Model: SM86
About: Shure SM86 Vocal Microphone
The Shure SM86 is a unidirectional (cardioid) condenser vocal microphone for professional use in live performance. An extremely rugged microphone, the SM86 withstands the rigors of touring while delivering studio-quality sound. The tailored frequency response of the SM86 reproduces vocals with clarity. A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. The built-in three-point shock mount minimizes handling noise, and a two-stage pop filter reduces wind and breath "pop" noise.

- Rugged construction withstands the rigors of touring sound
- Cardioid polar pattern minimizes unwanted background noise
