Description
The Telefunken M81 is a versatile dynamic microphone designed for stage and studio use, delivering detailed, condenser-like clarity in a rugged build. Featuring a flatter frequency response than the M80, it tames overly bright sources while emphasizing rich midrange—ideal for vocals, guitar amps, toms, brass, and percussion. Its supercardioid polar pattern ensures excellent off-axis rejection and feedback control, while the low-mass diaphragm and custom-wound T80 transformer offer high SPL handling (up to 135 dB) with minimal proximity effect. Built in the USA and styled in a grey body with a chrome grille, the M81 is a powerful all-rounder for demanding audio environments.
