From the renowned brand Telefunken Elektroakustik comes the M81 Cardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone, a high-quality, durable, and professional audio tool that stands out in a sea of dynamic microphone options. Following the success of the M80, the M81 was meticulously designed to not only match but also enhance the features of its predecessor, quickly becoming a favorite in both live performances and studio recordings.
The M81 is celebrated for its clear and detailed top end, articulate mid-range, and minimal proximity effect, characteristics that have won the hearts and ears of thousands of users worldwide. These features make it an ideal choice for vocal and snare drum applications, solidifying its position as one of the most popular microphones in the Telefunken product line.
The M81 takes the strengths of the M80 a step further by offering a slightly pulled back top end, resulting in a flatter overall frequency response. This unique combination provides a microphone rich in body and clarity, perfect for taming brighter vocals and guitar tones, fattening up percussion, horns, and thinner sounding sources.
The M81's tailored frequency response makes it exceptional for use with electric guitars, percussion, rack and floor toms, and brass instruments. Its versatility and reliable performance make it the go-to microphone for the new generation of audio professionals.
Finished in the same flint gray body tube and tri-chrome head grill styling as the R-F-T AR-51, the M81 is easily identifiable, adding a touch of sophistication to your audio equipment. The M81 was designed with the AR-51 in mind, ensuring its overall response complements perfectly when recording electric guitars. Experience the difference with the Telefunken M81 Cardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone, a testament to superior sound quality and design.
