Telefunken M81 - Dynamic Microphone (Purple Mic Body & Headgrille)

ersatile Dynamic Microphone for Stage and Studio
The Telefunken M81 PURPLE is a premium handheld dynamic microphone designed for vocalists, musicians, and engineers who demand clarity, durability, and reliability. With its bold purple body and matching grille, this microphone stands out in both looks and performance. The M81 is engineered to handle a variety of sources, from vocals to instruments, delivering a balanced frequency response with smooth midrange and controlled high frequencies. Whether used on stage or in the studio, this microphone ensures professional-quality sound with every use.

Balanced Sound with Enhanced Midrange Clarity
Unlike many dynamic microphones that emphasize high frequencies, the M81 provides a more natural and even response across the frequency spectrum. With a range of 50 Hz to 18 kHz, it captures every detail with precision while maintaining a smooth, warm tone. This makes it ideal for vocalists who want a microphone that softens harsh highs while preserving the presence needed to cut through a mix. It also excels on instruments such as guitar cabinets, horns, and snare drums.

Supercardioid Polar Pattern for Superior Isolation
The M81 features a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides excellent off-axis rejection and superior feedback control. This design ensures that the microphone picks up only the intended sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. Whether performing in a loud venue or recording in a treated studio, the M81 helps maintain a clean and focused sound. The head and capsule assembly further reduces the proximity effect, keeping low frequencies tight and controlled.

Custom-Wound Transformer for Consistent Performance
At the heart of the M81 is a custom-wound Telefunken T80 transformer that enhances signal clarity and ensures stable impedance matching. This results in a microphone that maintains its sonic character regardless of the preamp or sound system it is plugged into. The high maximum SPL handling of 135 dB also makes it suitable for loud sources without distortion, allowing it to perform exceptionally well in high-energy live settings.

Rugged Construction with a Unique Design
Built for the demands of touring musicians and engineers, the M81 PURPLE features a durable metal housing designed to withstand the rigors of constant use. The striking purple finish with a matching grille adds a stylish touch while maintaining the same high build quality expected from Telefunken microphones. The included mic clip and leather storage bag provide added convenience and protection, ensuring the microphone remains in top condition when not in use.
