Telefunken M81 BLUE w/ BLACK NICKEL - Handheld Dynamic Microphone (Blue Body, Nickel Grille)

Versatile Dynamic Microphone for Studio and Stage
The Telefunken M81 Supercardioid Handheld Dynamic Microphone in Blue with a Black Nickel Grille is built for professionals who need reliable sound quality in live and studio settings. Designed as a complement to the M80, this microphone maintains the same clarity and precision while offering a unique tonal balance. It captures detailed high frequencies, an articulate midrange, and reduced proximity effect, making it ideal for vocals, snare drums, and various instruments.

Smooth and Balanced Frequency Response
Unlike many dynamic microphones, the M81 is tailored for a smoother and more balanced sound, reducing the harshness often found in high-frequency-heavy sources. Its frequency response ensures that bright or thin-sounding instruments and vocals remain controlled, providing warmth without losing clarity. Whether you’re miking a snare drum, brass instrument, or electric guitar, the M81 helps refine the source’s natural tone while maintaining definition.

Supercardioid Pickup Pattern for Focused Sound
The M81's supercardioid polar pattern delivers superior off-axis rejection, allowing it to isolate the intended sound source from background noise. This makes it a go-to choice for live sound applications where stage bleed and ambient noise can be an issue. The tight directionality helps improve clarity on loud stages, reducing unwanted interference while enhancing the mic’s ability to handle complex mixes.

Handles High Sound Pressure Levels with Clarity
With a high SPL handling capacity, the M81 can capture extremely loud sources without distortion. Whether used on drums, amplifiers, or brass instruments, it accurately reproduces high-energy performances while maintaining dynamic range. This allows for powerful and punchy recordings that retain their detail without excessive compression or loss of nuance.

Minimal Proximity Effect for Consistent Performance
Designed with a refined head and capsule assembly, the M81 minimizes proximity effect, ensuring that close-miked vocals and instruments do not become overly boomy. This is particularly useful for performers who move around while singing or speaking, as it maintains tonal consistency regardless of mic position. The result is a cleaner, more controlled low end that doesn’t require excessive EQ adjustments.

Built for Durability and Longevity
Constructed with high-quality materials, the M81 is designed to withstand the demands of touring musicians and studio professionals. Its robust metal body, combined with a protective Black Nickel grille, ensures longevity even in rigorous environments. Whether it's used night after night on stage or in a busy recording studio, this microphone is built to last while maintaining premium performance.

Complete Package for Immediate Use
The Telefunken M81 comes equipped with a microphone clip and a storage bag, providing everything needed for easy transport and secure placement during use. Its universal compatibility with standard mic stands and XLR connections ensures seamless integration into any audio setup, making it a practical choice for musicians, engineers, and content creators.
