About Telefunken M81

It's time to redefine your audio recording experience with the M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone. This dynamic microphone, featuring an eye-catching orange body with a black nickel grille, is a product of Telefunken Elektroakustik's innovative engineering.

The M81 is not just a companion to the M80, Telefunken's first dynamic offering, but a standout performer in the dynamic microphone universe. Since its debut in 2008, the M80 has been a beloved choice in both live and studio settings, thanks to its clear and detailed top end, articulate mid-range, and minimal proximity effect. These features have made it a go-to option for vocal and snare drum applications, and the most sought-after 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 pulling back the top end a bit, resulting in a flatter overall frequency response. This unique combination gives the microphone a rich body and crystal-clear clarity, making it an excellent tool for balancing brighter vocals and guitar tones, enhancing percussion and horns, and enriching thinner sounding sources.

The M81's tailored frequency response sets it apart, making it exceptional for recording electric guitars, percussion, rack and floor toms, and brass instruments. Its versatility and rugged reliability make it the go-to microphone for the new generation of audio professionals.

The M81's construction is as impressive as its performance. Finished in the same flint gray body tube and tri-chrome head grill styling as the R-F-T AR-51, the M81 is easily identifiable. It was designed with the AR-51 in mind, with great care taken to tune the M81's overall response to complement the AR-51 when recording electric guitars.

The M81 is not just a microphone; it's a universal dynamic microphone designed to be used on virtually anything and everything! Each M81 Universal Dynamic microphone comes with a leather zipper bag and an M 780 mic clip, making it a complete package for your recording needs. Experience the difference with the M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone.
