Shure PGA81 — Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone
PGA81 Overview
The Shure PGA81 is a cardioid condenser microphone designed specifically for acoustic instrument applications in both live and studio settings. Its cardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup while rejecting off-axis bleed, making it well-suited for close-miking strings, woodwinds, acoustic guitar, and percussion. The PGA81 is a practical choice for audio engineers, live sound technicians, and recording professionals who need reliable condenser performance on acoustic sources. This listing includes the microphone only, with no cable included.
The PGA81’s condenser capsule delivers the transient sensitivity required for nuanced acoustic instrument reproduction, and its form factor integrates readily into standard clip and stand mounting configurations on stage or in the studio.
