Telefunken M80 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone (Black Body, Black Grille)
Key Features
  • Supercardioid Polar Pattern
  • Enhanced Directionality
  • Wide 50 Hz to 18 kHz Frequency Response
  • High Maximum SPL of 135 dB
Presented in a black body with a black grille, the Telefunken M80 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone delivers the sonic essence of a condenser in a rugged dynamic design. It features a wide 50 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response and high maximum SPL of 135 dB, making it equally suitable for voice, instruments, or drums onstage and in the studio. The M80 is designed to be an alternative to the midrange-laden character of most dynamic vocal microphones.

The M80's low-mass capsule and super-thin capsule membrane allow a wider dynamic range from a live vocal, providing an intimate feel that's typically reserved for studio condenser microphones. The head and capsule assembly is designed to reduce proximity effect and add low-end clarity while still providing present bass. The M80 also features an American-made, custom-wound, impedance-matching transformer. It ships with a mic clip and leather storage bag.

Telefunken M80 Reviews

exceptional capture of the richness of her voice

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.
