Description
The Telefunken M80 was built to move past the mid-heavy character of the “industry standard” handheld, giving front-of-house engineers and performers a dynamic mic that behaves more like a condenser on the loudest stages. A wider frequency response and a max SPL over 140dB mean it stays composed at monitor wedges, guitar cabs, and full-tilt drum kits alike, without choking or adding harshness.
What sets the M80 apart is its low-mass capsule and ultra-thin membrane, which let vocalists carry more nuance and emotional range through the PA than typical super-cardioid dynamics allow. The head and capsule geometry are engineered to tame proximity effect, so low end stays clean rather than boomy as singers work the mic, while the top end stays open and airy without tipping into upper-mid feedback or honk — a real advantage for riders that demand gain-before-feedback headroom on busy stages.
Under the hood, an American-made custom-wound impedance matching transformer partners with Telefunken’s proprietary capsule to deliver the tone that’s earned the M80 a fast-growing following among touring and studio engineers.
This bundle pairs the mic with a 20′ XLR cable and MCTB200 telescoping boom stand, so it’s ready to drop into a rig — from a single vocal channel to a scaling multi-mic backline — right out of the box.
