Presented in a yellow body with a black grille, the Telefunken M81 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone Yellow Blackdelivers the sonic essence of a condenser in a rugged dynamic design. It features a wide 50 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response and high maximum SPL of 135 dB, making it equally suitable for voice, instruments, or drums onstage and in the studio. Its tonal character is tuned to soften bright or thin sources and yield a stronger emphasis on midrange clarity.

The M81's head and capsule assembly is designed to reduce proximity effect while still providing present bass. Its supercardioid polar pattern provides enhanced off-axis rejection and high immunity to feedback. The M81 also features a custom-wound Telefunken T80 transformer. It ships with a mic clip and leather storage bag.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it battery powered or do you need phantom power?

A: The Telefunken M80 does not require battery power or phantom power.

Q: 2. will this mesh with Sure SM58 Wireless?

A: This capsule will work with all the Shure wireless transmitter handheld microphones, just make sure the capsule on your microphone can be removed in order to add the Telefunken M80 capsule in it's place.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with the Shure blx wireless?

A: Because the Shure BLX-2 transmitter features an integrated capsule design (non-removable), the Telefunken M80 wireless dynamic microphone capsule is not compatible.

Q: 4. Could this microphone work with a Behringer U-Phoria UM2 audio interface, and if so would it have issues with it being too quiet?

A: The V7 will work well with the UM2. There is gain control on the UM2, so no, it will not be too low.

Q: 5. What is needed for this to work with a Tascam DR-100mkIII, just an XLR cord?

A: Yes. All you would need is an XLR cable,

Q: 6. is this a cordless microphone?

A: The Telefunken M80 is not a wireless mic. This is a dynamic handheld that needs to be connected via cable.

Q: 7. Would this be appropriate for close-up field recordings of things like specific sounds of nature & experimental percussion/vocalizations?

A: This is an amazing microphne with a very tight pickup pattern. It will sound great great for that use.

Q: 9. Hello, what is the real color? In the first photo is a different pink that in the last one.. thanks!

A: I apologize for the confusion. The Telefunken M80 pink body with pink grille would look like the model in the 4th picture.

Q: 10. can I use the MKH 50 outdoor to record sound? Is it so bad?

A: If you plan to use the Sennheiser MKH 50 outdoors, which is entirely feasible, it would be highly recommended to combine it with a sturdy windshield such as BH #RYSSKS or BH #RYWSQAT.

[End Address] When my talent demands great sound with Star-caliber Bling, I can't beat this Beauty! Pure class, in all respects. They all LOVE it! 5

[Supercardioid] removes the problem of people handling the microphone incorrectly. Makes an amateur sound like a pro with no handling noise. Beginners will often cup the mic or hold it by its head giving a hollow sound. This microphone eliminates that problem. 5

[Mono] Great tool, very helpful 5

[Solid-State] This mic is literally the best mic I have EVER used on stage. It has the ability to make bad PA systems and bad speakers sound amazing. This mic is a MUST have if you sing live. This mix has also been amazing in the studio when I mic snare drums. The frequency response is superior to any other mic I've used. 5

[End Address] I've used the SM58 for years and decided it was time for an upgrade after doing a show where my vocals just didn't cut through. The clarity of the M80 is far superior to the SM58 and it feels like it is built rock solid. I'm still getting used to the nuances of this mic during live performances, but haven't had any issues with the change. I've read lots of reviews that these are great for recording, etc but I haven't used it for that so I cannot comment. 5

[1" / 25 mm] As a professional audio engineer, this is the most natural sounding dynamic handheld mic I have heard. A little bit of handling noise, and susceptible to plosives, but nothing a mic stand and windscreen can't fix. 5
