Description
The Telefunken M80 Cherry gives front-of-house engineers a dynamic vocal mic that steps past the midrange-heavy sound of the usual go-to handheld, offering a wider frequency range and higher SPL headroom for loud stages and hot monitor wedges.
Its low-mass capsule and thin-yet-durable diaphragm bring a condenser-like sense of detail and emotional nuance to a live vocal, while the head grille and capsule geometry are engineered to tame proximity effect. That means singers get clean, controlled low end up close on the mic without losing the open, airy top end or courting upper-mid feedback and honk on a busy monitor rig.
An American-made, custom-wound impedance-matching transformer inside the M80 shapes much of its character, pairing with the proprietary capsule to deliver a cardioid pickup pattern that stays consistent and rider-friendly across vocal, instrument, and drum applications alike — equally at home in the studio or on tour.
