The M80 is designed with a supercardioid polar pattern that effectively isolates the sound source, minimizing background noise. Its high SPL capabilities and robust sound handle the energy of live performances without distortion. The microphone's professional-grade construction and gold finish also add a touch of sophistication to any performance.
The M80 delivers a dynamic range that rivals the sensitivity of studio condenser microphones. Its low mass capsule and ultra-thin yet durable membrane bring a new level of emotion and intimacy to live vocals. The microphone also features a custom-wound impedance matching transformer that, in conjunction with the proprietary capsule assembly, creates a unique sonic footprint.
The M80 boasts an expansive frequency range of 30Hz-18kHz. This wide range ensures that every nuance of your performance, from the deepest bass to the highest treble, is captured with precision. It contributes to the overall sound quality, making your vocals sound clear and balanced.
The 3-pin male XLR connector is used to connect the microphone to your audio equipment. It provides a secure, high-quality connection that helps to maintain the clarity of the sound signal.
Proximity effect is a phenomenon that results in increased bass or low-frequency response when the sound source is close to the microphone. The M80's head grill and capsule assembly have been designed to reduce this effect, enhancing the clarity of low-end frequencies in your vocals and providing a balanced sound.

The Telefunken M80 Super-Cardioid Custom Dynamic Handheld Gold Microphone featuring a wider frequency response and higher SPL capabilities this microphone delivers condenser-like performance in a rugged dynamic design, producing a microphone equally suitable for on both the stage and in the studio. Due to its low mass capsule and super thin (yet surprisingly rugged) capsule membrane the M80 presents a wider range of emotion from a live vocal with an intimacy that has been traditionally reserved for studio quality condenser microphones.
The head grill and capsule assembly have been designed to reduce proximity effect resulting in added low-end clarity for vocals, while still providing strength and authority with an open airy character. A tight cardioid polar pattern and a frequency response boasting a subtle rise in the high-end result in a microphone that is ideal for live vocal applications. It also features a custom wound impedance matching transformer which is where the magic really takes place. When coupled with proprietary capsule assembly, the results have won hearts and minds in far less time.
