Bring your audio recording to the next level with the M81 Cardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone in Cherry Wood, a standout offering from the renowned Telefunken Elektroakustik's dynamic microphone range. This professional-grade microphone was meticulously designed to not only complement the popular M80, but also to carve its own niche in a market saturated with dynamic microphone options.
Introduced in 2008, the M80 quickly became a favorite in both live and studio environments, thanks to its clear and detailed top end, articulate mid-range, and minimal proximity effect. It became a staple for vocal and snare drum applications, earning its place as the most popular microphone in the Telefunken product line.
The M81 builds on the strengths of the M80, retaining its minimal proximity effect, superior feedback rejection, and articulate mid-range. However, the M81 takes it a step further by subtly pulling back the top end, resulting in a flatter overall frequency response. This unique combination gives the M81 a wealth of body and clarity, making it an excellent tool for taming brighter vocals and guitar tones, as well as for enhancing percussion, horns, and thinner sounding sources.
The M81's tailored frequency response makes it exceptional for recording electric guitars, percussion, rack and floor toms, and brass instruments. Its wide range of uses and rugged reliability make it a versatile workhorse for the new generation of audio professionals.
Finished in a stylish cherry wood body tube and tri-chrome head grill, the M81 is easily identifiable and adds a touch of elegance to your recording setup. It was designed with the AR-51 in mind, with great care taken to tune the M81's overall response to be complimentary to the AR-51 when recording electric guitars.
Experience the difference with the M81 Cardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone in Cherry Wood, a reliable, durable, and high-quality choice for all your professional audio recording needs.
