Key Features
The Shure Beta 181 Bidirectional Capsule is a replacement part for Shure Beta 181 microphones. You could use it to change the polar pattern of your Beta 181 microphone or replace a broken microphone capsule, simply screw it into the preamplifier stage and get going. The bidirectional capsule is ideal for recording two sound sources on a mono track or using the Blumlein technique with another bidirectional capsule.
Product Ref: 232991
This capsule captures sound from two directions so is great for recording two sound sources on a single mono track. It can also be used as a mono drum overhead, ideal for a quick capture.
The Blumlein technique is possible by pairing with another bidirectional mic. Put simply, this is a pairing method that captures accurate spatial characteristics of recordings.
