FAQ

What is the benefit of the supercardioid polar pattern in the M80 microphone?

The supercardioid polar pattern in the M80 microphone is designed to pick up sound from a specific direction while minimizing sound from other directions. This makes it ideal for capturing the sound of a specific performer or instrument in a live setting, reducing feedback and improving overall sound quality.

What makes the M80 microphone suitable for both stage and studio use?

The M80 microphone features a wider frequency response and higher SPL capabilities, delivering condenser-like performance in a rugged dynamic design. This allows it to capture a wide range of emotions from live vocals with an intimacy usually reserved for studio-quality condenser microphones.

What is included with the purchase of the M80 microphone?

Each M80 Dynamic microphone comes with a stylish leather zipper bag for storage and transport, as well as an M780 mic clip for convenient setup during performances or recording sessions.

How does the design of the M80 microphone contribute to its sound quality?

The M80 microphone features a low mass capsule and super thin, yet rugged, capsule membrane. This design allows the microphone to capture a broader range of emotions from live vocals. Additionally, the head and capsule assembly is designed to minimize proximity effect, resulting in enhanced low-end clarity for vocals.

About Telefunken M80 Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Orange & Gold

Let the Telefunken M80 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone revolutionize your live performances and studio recordings. This high-quality, professional-grade microphone is designed to provide a superior alternative to the typical midrange-focused "industry standard microphone". The M80 stands out with its wider frequency response and higher SPL capabilities, delivering condenser-like performance in a robust, dynamic design.

The M80's sonic characteristics are defined by its low mass capsule and super thin, yet surprisingly rugged, capsule membrane. This unique design allows the microphone to capture a broader range of emotions from live vocals, offering an intimacy usually reserved for studio-quality condenser microphones.

The head and capsule assembly of the M80 is ingeniously designed to minimize proximity effect, resulting in enhanced low-end clarity for vocals. This design also ensures an "open," "airy" character without the risk of upper midrange feedback or "honk", providing vocals with "strength" and "authority".

At the heart of the M80's circuit design is an American-made custom wound impedance matching transformer. When paired with our proprietary capsule assembly, this transformer works magic, delivering results that have quickly won over users since its introduction.

The M80 is not just about performance; it's also about style and durability. With its rugged orange powder coat body and eye-catching gold-plated headgrille, this microphone is built to withstand the high demands of touring.

Each M80 Dynamic microphone comes complete with a stylish leather zipper bag and an M780 mic clip, ensuring you have everything you need for your next performance or recording session. Experience the difference with the Telefunken M80 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone.
