Wrote the following about Shure SM 81 condenser instrument microphone

Gebruik hem MONO voor akoestisch gitaar. Heb de partij tweemaal ingespeeld. Hard links en rechts gepannd. Mijn hemel, dit is echt een wereldmicrofoon. Hij lijkt net iets ronder/warmer te klinken als de KM148 maar absoluut in dezelfde klasse. Details zijn top. Ik ben blij!
