Telefunken M80 BLACK

A Modern TELEFUNKEN Standard for Stage and Studio

Over the past ten years, the TELEFUNKEN M80 has established itself as a versatile reference, effortlessly transitioning from live sound reinforcement to recording. Its goal: to offer the impact and reliability of a dynamic microphone while delivering the precision and openness often associated with condenser microphones. The result: a "Swiss Army knife" microphone for front-of-house engineers, studios, and discerning musicians.

Who the M80 is For and Its Applications Where It Makes a Difference

The M80 is aimed at singers who want a clear, articulated, and well-focused vocal, even on noisy stages. In the studio, it becomes an excellent choice when seeking a direct, controlled sound that can be quickly integrated into the mix. Thanks to its high SPL capability, it is also very convincing on percussive sources like snare drums, as well as on amps and instruments requiring presence without harshness.

Directivity, Output Level, and Control: Designed for Clean Takes

Supercardioid: More Gain Before Feedback, Less Bleed

The supercardioid pattern helps focus the pickup on the source and limits off-axis sounds. On stage, this translates to more comfort and headroom before feedback, while reducing bleed from wedges, cymbals, or neighboring amps.

Wide Frequency Response and Detailed Reproduction

With a frequency response from 50 Hz to 18 kHz, the M80 captures solid lows and defined highs, providing precise reproduction on vocals and clear attack on drum elements. Its internal design also aims to reduce handling noise, a valuable asset both live and in close-miking situations.
