This microphone belongs to the universal series: Telefunken M81 can be used for both drums and vocals. The Telefunken M81 microphone delivers a rich clear sound, capable of handling powerful vocals or sharp guitar tones. Perfect for miking percussion, wind instruments, and other high-pitched sound sources.
Features:
- Polar pattern: supercardioid;
- Sound pressure level: 135 dB;
- Wide dynamic range;
- Ultra-durable capsule;
- Reduces proximity effect;
- Enhanced directionality;
- Especially designed for guitars, drums, and wind instruments;
- Transformer with individual winding.
Based on the strengths of the M80 model, the Telefunken M81 microphone retains the same minimal proximity effect, excellent feedback rejection, and clarity in mid frequencies. However, on the M81 model, the upper end of the frequency response is slightly attenuated, providing a flatter overall frequency response. This combination creates a rich and clear sound, turning the microphone into a great tool for taming bright vocals and guitar tones, as well as deep reproduction of percussion, wind instruments, and other high-pitched sources.
Due to its non-standard frequency response, the Telefunken M81 microphone is especially suitable for electric guitars, percussion, floor toms, and brass wind instruments. Its wide range of applications and high reliability make this microphone a great workhorse for a new generation of musicians and sound engineers.
The M81 was developed with reference to the Telefunken R-F-T AR-51 condenser microphone. The M81 shares the same gray housing and triple chrome head grille as the AR-51. Special attention was focused on tuning the overall characteristics to help the M81 complement the AR-51 model when recording electric guitars.
The Telefunken M81 microphone was designed for use... well, for use everywhere and at all times! It is truly a versatile dynamic microphone.
