SM86 MICROPHONE (PZA)
The Shure SM86 is a cardioid (unidirectional) condenser handheld microphone designed for use in recording and sound reinforcement applications. The cardioid pattern is effective at reducing off-axis ambient noise, making it a suitable choice for use near stage monitors, loud instruments, and more.
The Shure SM86 is a unidirectional (cardioid) condenser vocal microphone for professional use in live performances. An extremely durable microphone, the SM86 stands up to the rigors of touring and delivers clear, studio-quality sound.
A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and minimizes unwanted background noise. The built-in three-point shock mount minimizes handling noise, and a two-stage pop filter reduces wind and breath noise.
The condenser element requires between 11 and 52 volts of DC phantom power and produces much higher sensitivity than dynamic microphones. Condenser elements provide higher output levels, frequency response, and dynamic range, resulting in studio-level sound quality.
