SM85 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Shure SM85 is a cardioid condenser microphone engineered for demanding live vocal applications. Its lightweight yet rugged construction, featuring an aluminum case and a Teflon-coated steel grille, is built to withstand the rigors of on-the-road use while maintaining studio-quality performance.

The microphone's frequency response is specifically tailored to enhance vocal performance. It incorporates a controlled low-frequency rolloff to minimize handling noise and boominess, particularly during close-up use. The midrange response is accented to provide crispness and presence, ensuring a clear and defined vocal sound that stands out from instrumental backing. High frequencies are clean and clear, delineating subtle overtones and enhancing timbre.

Designed for reliability, the SM85 features an elastomer "space-frame" to isolate the condenser element from mechanical vibration. Integral wind and multi-stage pop filters reduce unwanted noise, with an accessory windscreen available for more demanding conditions. Special shielding techniques protect against magnetic and RF interference from studio lights and broadcast equipment. The SM85 can be phantom powered from 12 to 48 vdc.

This microphone is ideal for live sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and studio recording requirements where high-quality vocal reproduction is essential.
