Take your audio recording and live performances to the next level with the M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone. Crafted by the esteemed Telefunken Elektroakustik, this high-quality microphone is a standout in the dynamic microphone universe, designed to complement and enhance the acclaimed M80 model.
Introduced in 2008, the M80 quickly became a favorite in both live and studio environments due to its clear and detailed top end, articulate mid-range, and minimal proximity effect. The M81 continues this legacy, retaining these key features while offering a slightly pulled back top end for a flatter overall frequency response. This unique sonic characteristic provides a microphone rich in body and clarity, making it an ideal tool for controlling brighter vocals and guitar tones, and for enriching percussion, horns, and thinner sounding sources.
The M81's tailored frequency response excels on electric guitars, percussion, rack and floor toms, and brass instruments, making it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of audio applications. Its robust construction and superior feedback rejection further enhance its reputation as a workhorse for the new generation of audio professionals.
The M81 is not just about performance; it's also about style. Finished in an elegant oak wood body with a gold grille, it's a microphone that looks as professional as it sounds. Its design was carefully tuned to complement the AR-51 when recording electric guitars, making it a perfect pair for this application.
Each M81 Universal Dynamic microphone comes with a leather zipper bag and M 780 mic clip, adding to its versatility and ease of use. Whether you're recording in a studio, performing live, or capturing sound in various settings, the M81 is truly a "Universal Dynamic Microphone" designed to be used on anything and everything. Experience the difference with the M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone.
