Product Description
The Telefunken M80 dynamic microphone has firmly established itself as a cornerstone in both live sound reinforcement and studio recording over the past decade. Renowned for its wide frequency response and condenser-like articulation, the M80 delivers exceptional clarity and detail while handling high sound pressure levels with ease. Whether used on lead vocals, snare drums, or brass instruments, the M80 captures the full character of any source, cutting effortlessly through dense mixes. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures excellent feedback rejection, making it ideal for stage use. Designed with a custom-wound Telefunken T80 impedance matching transformer, the M80 exhibits low handling noise and unmatched sonic performance. Meticulously hand-assembled in the USA, it combines robust construction with intelligent internal design to meet the demands of touring professionals. The microphone is also available in an array of colours and finishes through Telefunken’s Custom Shop, along with low-profile and wireless variants for added versatility.
Key Features:
- Condenser-like High Frequency Extension:
Delivers crystal clear highs and natural detail, helping vocals and instruments stand out clearly in complex mixes. - Robust and Roadworthy Build:
Hand-assembled in the USA using premium materials to ensure durability and dependable performance in any live or studio environment. - Exceptional Feedback Rejection:
The supercardioid polar pattern isolates the intended source while reducing bleed and feedback, perfect for stage use.
Ergonomic Single Hand Operation:
Thanks to its lightweight yet sturdy design, the Telefunken M80 offers a comfortable grip and reduced handling noise, making it ideal for performers who require mobility and control. With a thoughtfully designed body and intelligent internal construction, the M80 allows users to maintain precise positioning without introducing unwanted mechanical noise, all while ensuring extended use does not result in fatigue.
Versatile Audio Capabilities:
The M80 is capable of handling a wide range of sound sources with remarkable accuracy. From studio vocal recordings to aggressive snare drum hits on stage, the microphone's dynamic moving coil capsule and wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 18 kHz provide detailed, uncoloured sound reproduction. Its ability to manage sound pressure levels up to 135 dB makes it equally suitable for delicate acoustic tones or powerful brass sections.
Integrated Transcription and Connectivity:
While the M80 remains an analogue microphone, its tailored output and premium transformer make it highly compatible with modern recording and live systems. The balanced output and low impedance of 325 ohms ensure clean signal transmission across a variety of setups. Wireless and low-profile models are available for seamless integration with existing gear, offering flexibility without compromising sound quality.
