Telefunken M81 - Dynamic Vocal Microphone (Yellow Body with Black Nickel Grille)

Versatile Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone for Stage and Studio
The Telefunken M81 YELLOW w/ BLACK NICKEL is a premium handheld dynamic microphone designed to deliver high-quality sound with clarity and balance. Featuring a striking yellow body with a black nickel grille, this microphone is a standout choice for performers, audio engineers, and musicians who need professional-grade reliability in both live and studio settings. Built with a flat frequency response and excellent feedback rejection, the M81 ensures articulate midrange detail, making it a go-to option for vocals, instruments, and drums.

Balanced Frequency Response for Natural Sound Reproduction
Unlike many dynamic microphones that emphasize high frequencies, the M81 is specifically tuned to offer a smooth and natural response. By slightly reducing the high-end presence, this microphone produces a more even tonal balance, making it ideal for bright or thin-sounding sources. Whether you are capturing live vocals, guitar cabinets, brass instruments, or percussion, the M81 delivers rich, full-bodied sound without unwanted harshness.

Superior Feedback Rejection and Minimal Proximity Effect
The M81 features a supercardioid polar pattern, which provides excellent off-axis rejection and minimizes unwanted background noise. This makes it particularly useful in high-volume environments where feedback is a concern. Unlike traditional dynamic microphones, the M81 is engineered to reduce the proximity effect, allowing vocalists and instrumentalists to get close to the microphone without excessive bass buildup.

Custom-Wound Transformer for Consistent Performance
Equipped with a custom-wound Telefunken T80 transformer, the M81 ensures stable and reliable performance across different audio setups. Unlike standard dynamic microphones that can sound inconsistent when used with different preamps, the M81 maintains its signature clarity and balance regardless of the signal chain. Whether used on stage or in the studio, this microphone guarantees a consistent and polished sound.

Durable Construction with a Bold Yellow Finish
Built to withstand the rigors of live performance and extensive studio use, the M81 features a rugged metal housing with a distinctive yellow body and black nickel grille. This microphone is designed for durability while maintaining a sleek and professional appearance. Included with the M81 is a leather zipper bag and an M 780 mic clip, ensuring safe transport and easy setup.
