Description
The TELEFUNKEN M80 was built to move past the midrange-heavy sound of the usual go-to stage vocal mic, giving engineers a dynamic that behaves more like a condenser without sacrificing the durability a touring rig demands. Its low-mass capsule and ultra-thin membrane pick up nuance and emotional detail in a live vocal performance that dynamics typically can’t capture, while still standing up to high SPL sources on stage or in the studio.
Engineered with a head and capsule assembly that tames proximity effect, the M80 keeps low-end clarity in check on close-mic’d vocals without losing power or presence. It opens up into an airy top end without tipping into the upper-midrange honk or feedback risk that plagues many cardioid handhelds — a real advantage when you’re fighting monitor wedges and pushing gain before feedback on a busy stage.
Under the hood, an American-made custom-wound impedance matching transformer works alongside TELEFUNKEN’s proprietary capsule design to deliver the tonal character that’s made the M80 a favorite among vocalists and engineers alike. Equally at home on vocals, instruments, or drums, it’s a flexible workhorse for both stage and studio use. This version comes finished in custom oak.
