Telefunken M81 Universal Dynamic Microphone

Full Description

The M81 has retained the M80 head which has been designed to reduce the proximity effect created by the cardioid polar pattern, meaning you vocals wont be indistinct. The top end of the M81 has been pulled back to yield a flatter overall frequency response, resulting in a microphone with a wealth of body and clarity, making it a great tool for taming brighter vocals and guitar tones and for fattening up percussion, horns and thinner sounding sources.

The Telefunken M81 includes a custom wound transformer that automatically matches impedance, providing consistent sound even when using different mixing boards, unlike some other preamplifiers which can operate at different impedance levels; affecting the sound of your microphone.

The diaphragm on the Telefunken M81 is super thin, which gives it a fast, un-colored response that captures your sound with incredible detail. Because it's not a midrange-heavy mic like some dynamic mics, it's not just for vocals. You can get great results with the M81 in front of a guitar amp, over a snare drum, or virtually any other instrument that needs a detailed, well-balanced microphone.
