Why settle for an ordinary microphone when you can elevate your audio capture with the Telefunken M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone This meticulously engineered microphone is a testament to Telefunken Elektroakustik's commitment to quality and innovation, designed to complement and enhance the acclaimed M80 model while carving out its own distinct place in the dynamic microphone market.
The M81 stands out with its eye-catching pink body and contrasting black nickel grille, making a bold statement both visually and acoustically. Its sonic characteristics are finely tuned, building upon the strengths of its predecessor, the M80. The M81 maintains the same minimal proximity effect and superior feedback rejection, ensuring clear and consistent sound capture even in close vocal work. Its articulate mid-range remains a defining feature, while the top end has been carefully adjusted to provide a flatter overall frequency response. This nuanced sound profile allows the M81 to deliver a microphone experience rich in body and clarity, ideal for managing brighter vocal tones, guitar sounds, and adding depth to percussion, horns, and other thinner-sounding sources.
The circuit design of the M81 is crafted to excel with a variety of instruments. Its tailored frequency response makes it exceptional for capturing the essence of electric guitars, the dynamic energy of percussion, the depth of rack and floor toms, and the power of brass instruments. This versatility ensures that the M81 is not just a microphone but a reliable tool for a wide range of audio recording and performance needs.
Durability meets design in the M81's construction. Echoing the aesthetic of the R-F-T AR-51 with its flint gray body tube and tri-chrome head grill, the M81 is instantly recognizable and built to last. The microphone's design was influenced by the AR-51, particularly in its tuning to complement electric guitar recordings, showcasing Telefunken's attention to detail and commitment to creating harmonious recording environments.
The M81 is more than just a microphone; it's a "Universal Dynamic Microphone," ready to enhance any audio project. Each M81 ships with a premium leather zipper bag and an M 780 mic clip, ensuring that you have everything you need to start recording with confidence and style.
Whether you're a professional sound engineer, a passionate musician, or an audio enthusiast, the Telefunken M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone is an indispensable addition to your audio toolkit, promising performance and reliability that can take your sound to the next level.
