Telefunken M80-SH Lower Profile Dynamic Microphone for Snare

A Compact Dynamic Microphone Designed for Snare Drums and Vocals
The Telefunken M80-SH is a low-profile dynamic supercardioid microphone engineered for snare drums, vocals, and other instruments requiring precise sound capture in tight spaces. With a wide 50 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response and a low-mass diaphragm, it delivers condenser-like detail while maintaining the durability and reliability of a dynamic microphone. Whether used in live sound applications or studio recordings, the M80-SH captures performances with clarity, making it a go-to choice for professional musicians and engineers.

Supercardioid Polar Pattern for Focused Sound and Feedback Rejection
Designed with a tight supercardioid polar pattern, the M80-SH isolates the intended sound source while minimizing bleed from surrounding instruments. This directional pickup pattern enhances clarity in live environments, reducing unwanted background noise and feedback. It ensures that snare hits, vocal performances, and instrument recordings remain precise and defined, even in loud stage settings.

Custom-Wound Transformer for Consistent Audio Performance
Unlike standard dynamic microphones, the M80-SH features an American-made, custom-wound transformer that automatically matches impedance. This ensures a consistent and transparent sound across different mixing consoles and preamps. Whether plugged into a studio interface or a live soundboard, the M80-SH delivers a balanced and natural tone without unwanted coloration.

Low-Mass Capsule for Fast and Detailed Response
The M80-SH’s ultra-thin diaphragm responds quickly to transient-rich sounds, making it ideal for snare drums, percussion, and articulate vocal performances. Unlike traditional dynamic mics with a midrange-heavy response, the M80-SH provides a balanced frequency range that captures the full tonal depth of an instrument or voice. Its detailed high-end and controlled low frequencies make it a versatile choice for both stage and studio use.

Compact and Durable Design for Versatile Mic Placement
The low-profile design of the M80-SH makes it easy to position on snare drums, guitar amps, or crowded drum kits where space is limited. Built with a rugged metal housing, this microphone is designed to withstand the demands of touring and live performance. Its compact form factor also makes it a convenient handheld vocal mic for performers who prefer a smaller grip without sacrificing sound quality.

Includes Essential Mounting Accessories for Convenience
The M80-SH comes with both the M785 and M784 mounts, providing flexible mounting options for drums, stands, and mic clips. Additionally, a five-meter SGMC-5R XLR cable is included, ensuring quick and reliable connections in any setup. These accessories make it easy to integrate the M80-SH into any live or studio environment right out of the box.
