The Shure RPM181/BI Bidirectional Polar Pattern Capsule is a high-quality, durable, and professional-grade audio accessory designed specifically for Shure's Beta 181 side-address instrument microphone. This innovative capsule is one of four interchangeable options, offering versatility and adaptability to your recording needs.
The capsule features a secure locking ring, ensuring a reliable connection with the Shure RPM181/PRE preamp. Despite its compact design, weighing a mere 5.1 oz, it can easily access any sound source, even in the most confined spaces, making it an ideal choice for professional audio recording.
Boasting a wide frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz, this bidirectional polar pattern capsule captures a broad range of sound frequencies, making it perfect for recording dual sound sources such as between toms or acoustic instruments. It's also highly effective as a mono drum overhead, or when used in pairs, it can create the captivating Blumlein stereo effect.
The Shure RPM181/BI capsule performs with minimal crossover distortion and delivers exceptional low-frequency reproduction, ensuring clear and accurate sound. Constructed with a hardened steel mesh grille, it resists denting and wear, standing up to the rigors of regular use.
The diaphragm of this capsule is designed to provide exceptional audio quality with consistent polar responses. This results in a microphone capsule that not only produces noteworthy sound but also offers remarkable versatility, making it a reliable choice for both amateur and professional audio enthusiasts.
