The smaller footprint of the M81-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 the handheld versions, the M81’s smooth frequency response and exceptional midrange articulation make them also idea for brass, woodwinds and percussion. 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.

DCFC drummer Jason McGerr commented, “Telefunken is making incredible microphones these days. I’ve been using a pair of M60 FET’s as my overheads, M80-SH on snare, M81-SH on toms, with an M82 on the kick. The live kit has never sounded better to my ears, both behind the drums and out at Front of House. I’ve also been tracking in the studio with the same setup, but I use an AR-70 as my overhead instead of the M60’s. The larger diaphragms and stereo pattern flexibility give a really big, beautiful image of the drums.”
