This week we're looking at a personal favorite of mine. With a more mellow sound than most, the SM81 brought the clean condenser sound to more people and home studios in the late 70s. We look at its history and features and take it for a test drive in the studio with some other popular SDC mics. • Special thanks to Danny Lamagna for playing drums and Matt Garzilli for playing guitar during this series! • Another special shout out to Mikhail at Blackrock Studio in CT for loaning us some mics for this series! • Get the Shure SM81 (Affiliate Link) • https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4eB9g • What I used for this video (Amazon Affiliate Links): • Blackmagic 6k for in studio shots: https://amzn.to/49B2blm • Rokinon Cine 35m lens: https://amzn.to/3IokApu • Rokinon Cine 24mm lens: https://amzn.to/4c0hgyk • Parabolic Soft box: https://amzn.to/434ejsz • Key Light: https://amzn.to/3IkTr6K • Fill Lights: https://amzn.to/3TpHW4w • Sconce Lights: https://amzn.to/3wDvmpl • Teleprompter: https://amzn.to/49Ax35f • • **CONTENTS** • 00:00 - Intro • 00:25 - Shure reintroduces condensers • 03:17 - The SM81 • 07:15 - SM81 No Processing 6 away FLAT • 08:13 - Rolloff 1 • 08:20 - Rolloff 2 • 08:27 - Plosive and Sibilance Test • 08:43 - Axis Test • 09:09 - SM81 @ 6 • 09:13 - SM81 @ 1 foot • 09:18 - SM81 @ 2 feet • 09:22 - SM82 @ 3' • 09:27 - Piano Demo • 09:31 - SM81 • 09:38 - KM184 • 09:47 - SM81 • 09:54 - KM184 • 10:05 - WA-84 • 10:14 - KM184 • 10:26 - SM81 • 10:32 - KM184 • 10:38 - SM81 • 10:45 - Acoustic Bass Demo • 10:49 - SM81 • 11:11 - KM184 • 11:32 - sE5 • 11:54 - Hi Hat Demo • 11:58 - SM81 • 12:06 - KM184 • 12:14 - MK-012 • 12:22 - Drum Overheads Demo • 12:26 - SM81 • 12:46 - WA84 • 13:06 - Acoustic Guitar Demo • 13:11 - SM81 • 13:32 - KM184 • 13:54 - WA84 • 14:14 - Conclusion
