The SM81 has been used on many many records. JD Sumner used it as a vocal mic. It's a common choice for acoustic guitar. It hold's it's value and if you list one on eBay it will sell quickly at a good price. If it breaks Shure will fix it and they are in the US so you won't have to ship your mic to Germany.
I love collecting microphones but the mic isn't what makes you sound good. It's the song and the performance. When I lived in Los Angeles I knew folks with number one hit records. If I went to hear one of them in church or at a neighborhood bar they made those cheap PA system sound great. It's the singer (or the guitarist) that makes the microphone sound good. |

PS. In the late seventies I worked for a well know guitar tech in Venice Beach, CA. My boss had a saying (he had lots of them) that went, "It's a poor workman that blames his tools." Last edited by Al Acuff; 10-20-2020 at 06:25 PM. |
