Shure SM86 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone for Professional Use in Live Performance with Built-in 3-Point Shock Mount, 2-Stage Pop Filter to Reduce Wind/Breath Noise, No Cable Included (SM86-LC)
Brand: Shure
Color: Black


The SM86 requires phantom power. This may be supplied to the microphone from an external power supply (such as the Shure model PS1A) or directly from preamplifiers, mixers, or consoles with built-in phantom power. Suitable sources should provide 11 to 52 Vdc phantom voltage.
A load impedance of at least 600 Ohms is recommended. The load may be as low as 150 Ohms, but a reduction in output level and output clipping level will result.
