Telefunken M80 Reviews

exceptional capture of the richness of her voice

By Clark
Rated 5 out of 5

Ellie Chaffee is my wife and very frequent gig partner for the past 40+ years. Of all the voices on the planet who perform works from the American Songbook, hers is my favorite-not just because she is my wife. As much as I have enjoyed her singing through a well respected competitor, the M80 delivers more of her richness in overtones and depth. Sorry we did not make this move years ago!

Great Mic!

Very clear sounding Mic! It was so clear that we were able to fine tune the live vocal reverb at band practice. It also has a nice design and a good weight to it. It feels great in the hand. It has a wide spectrum so you do not necessarily have to position it right in front of your mouth for good results. Overall I am very impressed. If you are looking for a live vocal mic upgrade look no further.

is this a cordless microphone?
Asked by: Anonymous
The Telefunken M80 is not a wireless mic. This is a dynamic handheld that needs to be connected via cable.

I apologize for the confusion. The Telefunken M80 pink body with pink grille would look like the model in the 4th picture.
