Details

I/O: detachable 25-foot cable

Notable use: drums, percussion, musical instruments, overhead stage miking, podiums, conferences, presentations, room miking, speech

Notes: JUDGMENT CALL: page markets this primarily as a general-purpose stage/studio/broadcast miniature condenser (drums, percussion, overhead stage) rather than exclusively an install ceiling/podium mic, but it does explicitly list 'podiums, conferences, and presentations' among applications, and the task's own framing groups M12xx-series with ceiling/podium mics, so included in scope with subcategory reflecting its dual-purpose nature - flag for review if a stricter install-only scope is desired. Phantom power range 18-48V per page (differs slightly from M1255B's 18-52V). Black only per this page; no white/M1280BW variant found in search results (unlike M1255 family).
