Shure SM86 Handheld Condenser Microphone

The Shure SM86 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Mic gives you all the advantages of Shure’s SM line with condenser mic clarity. It’s ruggedly built to handle touring, with a frequency response tailored for clear reproduction of vocals. The cardioid polar pattern minimizes background noise and feedback. The Shure SM86 has a built-in 3-point shockmount for minimizing handling noise and a 2-stage filter for reducing breath noises and pops.

This microphone requires phantom power.
