Compact Design, Amazing Sound

You'll be confident this microphone will last the test of time. Shure have made a super robust microphone that withstands rough and tumble use. You don't have to worry about that clumsy drummer anymore - you can just set up this microphone and get going.
Capture every nuance of your sound with confidence using the smooth, ultra-flat frequency response. And there are a wide variety of mic capsules available for any purpose, and these are all interchangeable.
Why Omnidirectional?
An Omnidirectional capsule comes with this particular model. This has a circular polar pattern, able to capture 360� of sound in a mono recording.
If you need an ambient recording of a room this is ideal. This allows you to get a general feel of a space as well as having your close mic options too.
It can also be used for work with ensembles. Because it captures 360� of sound, you can have a relatively large group playing around it and they'll all be audible. Or even set it as a mono drum overhead - it'll deliver even reproduction of each element.
