Telefunken M80 OAK

Telefunken M80 Oak Microphone

TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik proudly announces the latest editions to their dynamic microphone range: the M80 Wood Series. Available in two classic wood like finishes, the M80 Oak and M80 Cherry offer the same sonic characteristics found in the M80 Standard microphone. Guaranteed to catch the audiences’ eye, the M80 Oak and M80 Cherry look and sound great on almost any application.

Available Spring 2012 in very limited quantities.

TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik has created the M80 to give the user a superior alternative to the midrange-laden character of the “industry standard microphone.” Featuring a wider frequency response and higher SPL capabilities the M80 delivers condenser-like performance in a rugged dynamic design, producing a microphone equally suitable for voice, instruments or drums on both stage and in the studio.

Due to its low mass capsule and super thin (yet surprisingly rugged) capsule membrane the M80 presents a wider range of emotion from a live vocal with an intimacy that has been traditionally reserved for studio quality condenser microphones.

The head and capsule assembly has been designed to reduce proximity effect to which nets added low end clarity for vocals, while still providing “strength” and “authority” and an “open,” “airy” character without adding danger of upper midrange feedback or “honk.”

The M80 also features an American made custom wound impedance matching transformer which is where the magic really takes place. When coupled with our proprietary capsule assembly, the results have won hearts and minds in far less time since its introduction than we ever imagined possible.
