Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 Dynamic Microphone
Dynamic mic for stage or studio applications - includes mic clip and bag
MFR# M80
Product Description
The Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 gives 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 American made custom wound impedance matching transformer which is where the magic really takes place.
The M 80 is available in two versions: the "Standard Version" which includes a mic clip and bag; and the "Studio Set" which includes a mic clip, wooden box, and an additional black head grille.

If you're bored of the SM57 on your snare, this is the mic you need. It has a really cool bump in the top that works great on snare drum, which is our primary application for it. It may work well for certain guitar tones but as bright as it is, it may come off to brittle depending on the source.
When being used on snare, it does a fantastic job of managing the bleed, the hi hat is at least 30% more quiet than compared to mic'ng w/ a 57. great mic. -
I have had the privilege to run FOH at several venues as this year. Have used the M80 on many talented vocalist this year, at large events. A definite step up from your industry standard microphones. Build quality is excellent. It did not disappoint!!!

very god Voice playback

We bought this for our female singer and upgraded from
an SM58. And it was an instant transformation. The M80 brings our her upper Mids, it can capture the breathiness (when desired). And is just overall more clear across the spectrum than the SM58. Never thought there’s be that much of a difference. -
I've had this mic about 9 months now. I've used it exclusively on guitar cabs, so I can only comment on it in that capacity. I also got the M81 at the same time, so you can check out my review on that one as well.
Telefunken is right when they say it has a "condenser-like" vibe with the top end openness. It leans towards the brighter side of the spectrum. I commonly use an SM57 right around where the dust cap and cone meet of a V30. Without touching the amps eq, you'll likely need the mic a bit further away from the dust cap to compensate for the additional brightness. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just giving a reference for the brightness.That said, I still always find myself opting for something different when using V30's. Where I find this mic shines is on my old G12T75 cab. I have a couple of amps that sound great through that cab and I feel this mic does a fantastic job of capturing what's coming out of that speaker. If you find you have a hard time capturing what you're hearing in the room with some old G12T75s then it may be worth checking out this mic.
