Shure PG Alta PGA81 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Mic

Clear Sound for Sensitive Acoustic Instruments

The Shure PG Alta PGA81 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone is a professional-quality microphone designed for capturing the nuances of acoustic instruments in live performances and studio recordings across Australia. With its flat frequency response and sleek, updated industrial design, the PGA81 delivers excellent sound for sensitive sources like acoustic guitars, drum overheads, percussion, strings, and horns, making it a versatile choice for musicians and sound engineers on a budget.

Precise Audio Capture

The PGA81 features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the sound source while rejecting unwanted background noise, ensuring clean and clear audio reproduction. Its flat-response condenser cartridge (40 Hz – 18 kHz) provides accurate, natural sound for sensitive acoustic environments, avoiding the coloration often found in dynamic microphones. Requiring 48V phantom power, the PGA81 is ideal for detailed recordings and live sound applications where clarity is paramount.

Durable and Discreet Design

Built with Shure’s legendary quality, the PGA81 boasts a black metallic finish and grille for an unobtrusive visual presence, blending seamlessly into any setup. Its compact, durable construction ensures reliability in rigorous environments, from home studios to live stages. The included swivel adapter allows for flexible positioning, and the zippered pouch provides secure storage and transport. Available with or without a 15 ft XLR cable (PGA81-XLR or PGA81-LC), this microphone offers professional performance at an accessible price point.
