The smaller footprint of the M80-SH low profile dynamic makes them ideal for tight fit applications including drums and guitar amps on stage, as well as vocal positions for drummers and keyboard players, where a full size microphone may be too obstructive. Designed to deliver the same character and high SPL handling as their handheld versions; the M80 provides a natural, condenser-like response with a subtle high frequency rise, and their Supercardioid pickup pattern has minimal proximity effect and provides superior off-axis rejection.

Both the M80-SH & M81-SH come with two styles of drum mounts and a TELEFUNKEN right angle XLR cable.
