About: Telefunken M81-SH Low Profile Supercardioid Microphone

The low profile M81-SH is ideal for tight drum miking, brass or vocal applications where a smaller footprint is necessary.

  • Same clear, condenser-like performance as the handheld M81 
  • Smaller size and built-in mount allow for easier positioning
  • Custom-wound impedance-matching audio transformer  
  • High SPL handling and excellent off-axis rejection 
  • Right-angle XLR cable included 
  • Designed and hand assembled in the USA 
  • Recommended Applications: Toms, Guitar amps on stage, Brass instruments 

Now lighter, shorter, and sleeker than ever, the redesigned M81-SH delivers improved performance and modernized styling, featuring a 40% reduction in overall weight, a 10% shorter length, vibration-dampening technology, and finishes matched to our handheld microphones. Updated for 2026, it sets a new standard for low-profile dynamic microphones. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for tight-fit applications such as drums and guitar amps on stage, as well as vocal positions for drummers and keyboard players where a full-size microphone may be obstructive. The M81-SH delivers the same character and high-SPL handling as its handheld counterparts, with a smooth frequency response, exceptional midrange articulation for brass, woodwinds, and percussion, and a Supercardioid pickup pattern that minimizes proximity effect and provides superior off-axis rejection.
