Condenser-like Performance with Dynamic Convenience

Promising condenser-like performance, the Telefunken M80 dynamic microphone lets you set a new standard for high-quality live performances. Unlike the midrange-heavy tone of many popular handheld mics, the M80 employs a low-mass capsule and ultra-thin membrane to capture every nuance of your performance with amazing balance and detail. And you'll get great results anywhere you go thanks to the custom-wound impedance-matching transformer. You don't need an expensive condenser mic to get studio-quality sound on stage - you need the Telefunken M80.

Telefunken M80 Dynamic Handheld Microphone at a Glance:
  • Specially-designed capsule gives the mic a wide, balanced response
  • Remarkably consistent sound no matter what you're plugging into
  • Clear, detailed sound is perfect for vocals or instruments
Specially-designed capsule gives the mic a wide, balanced response

Telefunken designed the M80's head and capsule to reduce the proximity effect created by the supercardioid polar pattern. That means your vocals won't get boomy or indistinct, yet you still get the feedback-fighting characteristics of a directional microphone.

Remarkably consistent sound no matter what you're plugging into

If you're a live performer, you know that it's tough to get a consistent sound every night when you're plugging into a different mixing board each time. Different microphone preamplifiers can operate at different impedance levels, and that affects the sound of your microphone. The Telefunken M80 sports an American made, custom wound transformer that automatically matches impedance, and that means your vocal sound will be consistent no matter what you're plugging into.

Clear, detailed sound is perfect for vocals or instruments

The diaphragm on the Telefunken M80 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 M80 in front of a guitar amp, over a snare drum, or virtually any other instrument that needs a detailed, well-balanced microphone.

Telefunken M80 Dynamic Microphone Features:
  • Dynamic supercardioid microphone vocals, instruments, or percussion
  • Cherry finish
  • Wide-ranging 50Hz-18kHz frequency response is perfect for both instruments and vocals
  • Low-mass capsule and diaphragm responds quickly to sound for clear, detailed reproduction
  • Capsule design reduces proximity effect so your sound doesn't become muddy or indistinct
  • Includes microphone clip and carrying bag
Legendary Telefunken sound can be yours with the M80 dynamic microphone!

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Worth every penny!

Showed up in a timely fashion! Sounds great, looks great! No nonsense workhorse will not improve your singing ability, but provides crisp, clear representation of what is put into it! Also, I'm about 75% sure it's not wood guys.;)

Best mic ever

More warmth, clarity, and projection than Shure 58 Beta or Sennheiser e835.

Impressive response

I enjoy the ease of utilizing my BOSE S-1Pro, however by doing that I forfeit the use of my favorite microphone; Neumann KMS-105 because if I want a simple quick set-up, I don't use my mixer, just the onboard options of the BOSE, which includes some equalization and a nice reverb, BUT NO PHANTOM POWER.

I have been very pleased with my AUDIX OM 6 my dynamic microphone, but I had a gig and couldn't find it. I called Sweetwater for a Saturday delivery overnight and decided to try something new to me. I ordered the Telefunken Cherry M-80. My order arrived overnight and I hadn't ordered until about noon.

I no longer miss my Neumann KMS-105. It feels heavy in your hand and the wood is distinctive but the finish seems to be a polymer of sorts (I like natural oil finishes) but this must be used for maximum protection.
Response is unbelievable in this dynamic mic. Clarity is crystal clear, and every nuance is distinguished.

By the way I found my AUDIX OM-6 in the very bottom of my saddlebags, but it is my extra backup mic now.

Excellent mic…Excellent service!!

This microphone has a warm and rich sound for vocals and emcee. I used it at an open mic night and it made my average voice and a few others a lot better. The other vocalists who started out using the hosts Shure beta sm58 preferred to use the Telefunken. As for service, I do not think any other pro audio dealer can compete with Sweetwater! Ask for Andy!!

Great value!

This Mic rocks! It catches every nuance of your voice and cuts through with heads above clarity. Very pleased with it. It is a bit heavy if you use it as a hand held. Not a problem for me, just worth noting. I purchased the cherrywood color so as not to accidently get mixed up in someone else's gear.
