THE SOUND OF THE PROFESSIONALS@ PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS
GENERAL
The Shure Model SM80 is a high-quality, omnidirec-
tional condenser microphone designed for the most
demanding professional applications in studio record-
ing, broadcasting and sound reinforcement. It is
especially suitable for applications requiring extremely
wide frequency response, low noise and distortion
characteristics, very low RF susceptibility, and reliable
operation over a wide range of temperature and humid-
ity extremes. T
