About Telefunken M80 Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Red & Gold

If you're seeking a dynamic vocal microphone that transcends the typical midrange focus of standard industry options, the Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 emerges as a standout choice. Engineered to deliver a superior frequency response and higher sound pressure level (SPL) capabilities, the M80 offers condenser-like performance within a robust dynamic design. This fusion of qualities makes the microphone exceptionally versatile, suitable for both the energy of live stage performances and the precision of studio recording sessions.

Sonic Characteristic:
The M80 is distinguished by its low mass capsule and ultra-thin, yet durable, capsule membrane, which together capture a broader spectrum of vocal emotions with a level of intimacy usually associated with high-end studio condenser microphones. The meticulous design of the head and capsule assembly significantly reduces the proximity effect, enhancing low-end clarity for vocals without compromising the strength and authority of the sound. The result is an open and airy vocal character that steers clear of upper midrange feedback or unwanted "honk," making it a reliable choice for professional vocalists.

Circuit Design:
At the heart of the M80's exceptional performance is an American-made custom-wound impedance matching transformer. This key component is integral to the microphone's ability to produce its captivating sound, which has quickly won over users since its introduction. The transformer, in tandem with the proprietary capsule assembly, contributes to the M80's rapid ascent as a beloved tool among vocalists and sound engineers alike.

Construction:
Designed to withstand the rigors of touring, the M80 boasts a durable red body with a striking gold grille, ensuring it stands up to the demands of frequent use while maintaining a professional and stylish appearance on stage. Its construction reflects Telefunken's commitment to quality and durability, ensuring that the microphone not only looks the part but also performs consistently under pressure.

Accessories:
The M80 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone comes complete with a set of essential accessories, including a protective leather zipper bag and an M780 microphone clip, providing everything needed for immediate use in a variety of settings.

In summary, the M80 Custom Handheld Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone is a high-quality, professional, durable, versatile, and reliable choice for vocalists who demand excellence in both live performance and studio environments. Its unique supercardioid polar pattern, coupled with its classic red and gold design, makes it an attractive option for those looking to capture clear, powerful, and emotive vocals.
