Telefunken M81 OAK Light Wood Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Versatile Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone with a Light Oak Wood Finish
The Telefunken M81 Oak Dynamic Microphone offers professional-grade sound with a distinctive light wood body, combining studio-quality performance with a natural, elegant aesthetic. Designed as an evolution of the M80, this microphone provides the same condenser-like clarity while refining the high-frequency response for a smoother, more balanced sound. Whether used for live performances, studio recording, or instrument miking, the M81 Oak delivers exceptional audio fidelity with minimal proximity effect and superior feedback rejection.

Refined Frequency Response for a Balanced Sound
Unlike traditional dynamic microphones that emphasize high frequencies, the M81 is designed with a more controlled top-end response. This makes it an excellent choice for bright vocals, electric guitars, brass instruments, and snare drums, ensuring a well-rounded, full-bodied tone. The tailored frequency curve allows the M81 to handle a variety of sources while maintaining clarity and definition in the mix.

Supercardioid Pickup Pattern for Focused Audio Capture
With a tight supercardioid polar pattern, the M81 effectively isolates the primary sound source while rejecting off-axis noise. This feature is particularly beneficial for live sound applications where ambient stage noise and feedback can be problematic. By enhancing directional accuracy, this microphone ensures that vocals and instruments remain clear and focused, even in loud environments.

Handles High Sound Pressure Levels Without Distortion
Built to capture powerful performances, the M81 can handle SPLs up to 135 dB, making it ideal for high-output sound sources such as guitar amplifiers, drums, and brass instruments. Whether used on stage or in the studio, this microphone retains detail and dynamic range without introducing unwanted distortion, allowing for clean and accurate recordings.

Minimized Proximity Effect for Consistent Low-End Response
Many dynamic microphones produce excessive low-end buildup when used up close, but the M81 is engineered to minimize proximity effect. This ensures that vocals and instruments maintain a controlled and natural bass response, regardless of mic placement. Performers and engineers can rely on this microphone to deliver consistent tonal balance without the need for excessive EQ adjustments.

Elegant Light Wood Design with Durable Construction
Beyond its superior sound performance, the M81 Oak features a light wood body that gives it a distinctive, natural look. Designed with durability in mind, this microphone is built to withstand the demands of touring and regular studio use. Its rugged construction ensures long-term reliability while maintaining a stylish and professional appearance.

Complete Package for Ease of Use and Transport
The M81 Oak comes with a microphone clip, a protective leather carrying case, and a packing tube, providing everything needed for safe transport and convenient setup. Whether used for vocals, instruments, or broadcast applications, this microphone is ready for any performance or recording scenario.
