All SM85 rentals include stands, mic clips, and cables.

The Shure Model SM85 is a professional-quality, hand-held, unidirectional condenser microphone designed for the most demanding applications in sound reinforcement, broadcasting and studio recording. It is especially suitable for applications requiring wide frequency response, low distortion characteristics, very low RF susceptibility, and reliable operation over a wide range of temperature and humidity extremes.

The SM85 makes optimum use of proximity effect to give the performer control of low-frequency sound, from the warm intimacy of close miking to the natural sounds of normal-to-distant miking. The SM85 also features an integral wind and pop filter, a high-frequency presence peak, a controlled low-frequency rolloff, and an effective shock mount for reduced stand and handling noise. The case is constructed of aluminum for light weight and ruggedness, with a steel grille and durable black finish.

  • Wide-range frequency response tailored for professional vocal applications
  • Built-in wind and pop filter minimizes undesirable wind and breath sounds
  • Controlled low-frequency rolloff to reduce low-frequency handling noise and compensate for proximity effect
  • Transducer element shock-mounted for reduced stand and handling noise

  • Rugged construction for outstanding reliability
  • Field-usable over wide range of temperature and humidity conditions
