PG81 Applications

The PG81 would be an ideal choice for an amateur/semi-pro musician looking to mic up their acoustic instrument such as acoustic guitar, strings, woodwind, overhead percussion or piano, either in a live or recording environment.

Condenser microphones

As the PG81 is a condenser microphone, it requires phantom power for it to work. On the PG81, this can achieved in two ways by either using the phantom power source from your mixer, or by using the internal AA battery (supplied)
