About Telefunken M81

Let the M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone, with its red body and black nickel grille, elevate your audio recording and live performance experiences. This high-quality, professional-grade microphone is the successor to the M80, a product that revolutionized the dynamic microphone market with its clear, detailed top end, articulate mid-range, and minimal proximity effect.

The M81 carries forward these superior features, offering excellent feedback rejection and an articulate mid-range. However, it sets itself apart with a slightly pulled back top end, resulting in a flatter overall frequency response. This unique sonic characteristic lends the M81 a wealth of body and clarity, making it an ideal tool for controlling brighter vocals and guitar tones, as well as enhancing percussion, horns, and thinner sounding sources.

The M81's tailored frequency response makes it exceptional for capturing the nuances of electric guitars, percussion, rack and floor toms, and brass instruments. Its versatile nature and rugged reliability make it a go-to microphone for a wide range of applications, earning it the title of a "Universal Dynamic Microphone".

The M81's construction is as impressive as its performance. It sports a flint gray body tube and a tri-chrome head grill, mirroring the aesthetics of the R-F-T AR-51. This design was intentional, as the M81's overall response was tuned to complement the AR-51 when recording electric guitars.

Every M81 Universal Dynamic microphone comes with a leather zipper bag and an M 780 mic clip, ensuring you have everything you need to start recording or performing. Whether you're a singer, speaker, or instrumentalist, the M81 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Universal Dynamic Vocal Microphone is designed to capture your sound with precision and clarity.
