Shure RPM181/C Cardioid Capsule for Beta 181
The Shure RPM181/C is a high-performance cardioid capsule engineered for the Shure Beta 181 side-address instrument microphone system. Designed for precision and flexibility, this capsule is perfectly suited for drum overheads, piano, acoustic instruments, and critical studio recording applications. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the primary sound source while effectively rejecting off-axis noise, delivering clean and controlled audio capture.
When paired with the Shure RPM181/PRE preamp, the RPM181/C becomes a compact and lightweight microphone solution weighing just 5.1 oz, allowing placement even in the tightest recording spaces. Its wide frequency response, high SPL handling, and excellent dynamic range ensure accurate reproduction of both subtle nuances and powerful transients.
The capsule features a hardened steel mesh grille that resists dents, wear, and abuse, making it suitable for demanding studio and live environments. With consistent, textbook-style polar response and minimal crossover distortion, the RPM181/C delivers exceptional low-frequency reproduction and reliable sonic performance across a wide range of professional applications.
