Discover the Telefunken M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone, a high-quality, durable, and professional audio tool that stands out in the crowded field of dynamic microphones. Designed to complement and enhance the acclaimed features of its predecessor, the M80, the M81 is a favorite among audio professionals for both live performances and studio recordings.
The M81's supercardioid polar pattern is meticulously engineered to capture sound with precision, focusing on the source directly in front of the microphone while effectively minimizing unwanted noise from other directions. This makes it an ideal choice for isolating a performer's voice or instrument in a live setting, ensuring that every nuance is captured with clarity.
Telefunken, a brand synonymous with excellence in the audio industry, has crafted the M81 with a flatter overall frequency response compared to the M80. By slightly pulling back the top end, the M81 delivers a microphone with a rich body and exceptional clarity, adept at managing brighter vocals, guitar tones, and enhancing the fullness of percussion, horns, and other instruments that may sound thin.
The M81's circuit design is tailored to excel with a variety of sound sources, including electric guitars, percussion, rack and floor toms, and brass instruments. Its versatility and robust construction have solidified its reputation as the go-to microphone for a new generation of audio professionals.
Constructed with a striking blue body and a luxurious gold grille, the M81 is not only sonically impressive but also visually stunning, adding a touch of elegance to any performance or recording environment. The microphone's design takes cues from the R-F-T AR-51, with careful tuning to complement the AR-51 when used together, particularly with electric guitars.
Each M81 Universal Dynamic microphone comes complete with a leather zipper bag and an M 780 mic clip, ensuring that it is ready for action whenever you are. Whether you're capturing live performances or laying down tracks in the studio, the M81 is a versatile, reliable, and professional choice that will deliver exceptional audio quality across a wide array of applications.
