The BETA 181 is an ultra-compact small-diaphragm side-address condenser microphone with interchangeable capsules with different directional characteristics. It can be installed inconspicuously and in narrow spaces for a variety of applications. The BETA 181 is a versatile instrument microphone that can be used for everything from guitar to bass to drums (overheads and snare). Four types of capsules (cardioid, supercardioid, figure directional, omnidirectional) can be exchanged to suit your needs. The model name of the BETA 181 cardioid condenser capsule is RPM181/C. The model name of the BETA 181 supercardioid condenser capsule is RPM181/S. The model name of the BETA 181 bidirectional condenser capsule is RPM181/B1. The model name of the BETA 181 omnidirectional condenser capsule is RPM181/O. Cardioid capsules are ideal for overheads, pianos, and acoustic instruments. Additionally, the cardioid capsule can be used for M/S stereo sound collection (combined with another microphone with a figure-directional capsule). The supercardioid capsule is ideal for picking up snares, toms, acoustic instruments, and other close-range pickups. Omnidirectional capsules can also be used for choral, orchestral, and ambient sound pickup. The bidirectional capsule can be used for mono overhead or for recording two instruments simultaneously on one channel.
