Condenser-like Performance in a Rainbow of Stage-ready Colors
With its condenser-like sound, the Telefunken M80 dynamic microphone sets a new standard for high-quality live performance. 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 onstage: you need the Telefunken M80. Now available in a rainbow of stage-ready colors!

Specially designed capsule for superior-sounding vocals
Performers and front-of-house engineers at Sweetwater love working with the M80 because it delivers superior-sounding vocals. 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, and 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, then 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 a custom-wound, American-made transformer that automatically matches impedance for a consistent vocal sound no matter what you're plugging into.
Clear, detailed sound is perfect for almost any source
The diaphragm on the Telefunken M80 is super thin, which gives it a fast, uncolored response that captures your sound with incredible detail. And because it's not midrange-heavy 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 on many other instruments that need a detailed, well-balanced microphone.
