The Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 Dynamic Microphone is designed to deliver condenser-like performance in a rugged dynamic design. Featuring a wider frequency response and higher SPL capabilities, the M80 microphone is equally suitable for on both the stage and in the studio.

The Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 Dynamic Microphone is a super charged dynamic microphone designed to give the user a superior alternative to the midrange-laden character of the "industry standard microphone".

Sonic Characteristic
Due to its low mass capsule and super thin (yet surprisingly rugged) capsule membrane, the Telefunken Elektroakustik 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."

Circuit Design
The Telefunken Elektroakustik 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 it's introduction than we ever imagined possible.

Construction
Featuring a rugged black powder coat body and head-turning chrome plated headgrill, the Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 is built for the high demands of a touring vocal mic.

Essencial

I was looking for a vocal recording mic that could minimize acoustic guitar bleed while still delivering excellent clarity. Even though this isn’t a condenser mic, it does a great job of capturing an open and clear sound while effectively reducing unwanted guitar noise. Keeping a distance of about six inches allows for a clean vocal tone without excessive plosives or boomy bass (at least with my voice). It works wonderfully for that purpose and also as a mic for acoustic guitar. I haven’t tested it in a live setting yet, but given its impressive sound rejection, I wouldn’t hesitate to use it.

Best hand held dynamic I've heard!

I am thoroughly impressed with the clarity and detail of this mic. For me the test is in the low-end of a baritone. With this mic it is all right there in 3D. Then its natural tone is topped off with a subtle sheen and the vibe of the transformer. And it takes EQ very well. And last but certainly not least the build quality is exquisite.

Like a nice (expensive) pair of jeans

Great, full sound with nice output. I’m an upper range male tenor and it’s hard to find a mic that suits my voice. Closest I got was a Sennheiser e835 or beta 75. Picked this mic up at a friend’s rehearsal space and couldn’t put it down. It’s like a great pair of jeans…you’re like “why do these cost so much?!” And then you put ‘em on and you realize. Comfortable and flattering. Nice feedback rejection, too.

Telefunken Elektroakustik M80

I personally didn't care for this microphone for my voice. I felt it sounded a little on the thin side and the highs were a little brittle. It did seem to be more appropriate for rock songs, as opposed to softer material. I did however, really like this mic on guitar cabinet a lot, and would consider purchasing one, or an M81 for that application.

What We Think

The Telefunken Elektroakustik M80 is a great mic. It provides a nice boost in the upper mids, for plenty of cut, but does not sacrifice the smooth mids, and full low end. Overall it is a rich sounding mic that is quite versatile. It is clearly a solid mic for vocal (in the studio or on the stage), but it also excels at guitar cab and drums. Put this on floor toms, snare, overheads, and you will be pleasantly surprised and how greatly it performs. A very nice offering from Telefunken, and well worth looking into.
