Get Unmatched Durability and Response With the Telefunken M80 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone – Black 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 both the stage and the studio.Sonic Characteristic 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, which nets added low-end clarity for vocals while still providing “strength” and “authority” and an “open,” “airy” character without adding the danger of upper midrange feedback or “honk.”Circuit Design The M80 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.Construction Featuring a rugged black powder coat body and black head grille, the M80 is built for the high demands of a touring vocal mic.Includes Each M80 Dynamic microphone ships with a leather zipper bag and M780 mic clip Microphone cable not included.Specifications Type: Dynamic Moving Coil Capsule: 25 mm Transformer: Custom Wound TELEFUNKEN T80 Polar Pattern: Supercardioid Frequency Range: 50 Hz – 18 kHz Sensitivity: 1.54 mV/Pa Output Impedance: 325 Maximum SPL (for 1% THD): 135 dBManufacturer:Telefunken ElektroakustikModel:M80 BLACKSKU:I385774-N-1-WHXAUPC: 899051002091We are Chuck Levin’s Washington Music CenterSince 1958, Chuck Levins Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
