Telefunken M81SH
Condenser-like Performance, Compact Dynamic Convenience
The Telefunken M81-SH dynamic microphone delivers condenser-like performance, with the convenience and robustness of a dynamic mic. Building upon the strengths of the M80, the M81-SH delivers the same minimal proximity effect, excellent feedback rejection, and an articulate mid-range, however, the top end is pulled back a bit, giving you a flatter overall frequency response. With its compact form factor, you’ll find it easy to place the M81-SH on snare drums and other hard-to-reach sources. You don’t need an expensive condenser mic to get studio-quality sound – you need the Telefunken M81-SH.
Telefunken M81-SH Dynamic Handheld Microphone at a Glance:
- Specially-designed capsule gives the mic a wide, balanced response
- Remarkably consistent sound no matter what you’re plugging into
- Clear, detailed sound is perfect for vocals or instruments
Specially-designed capsule gives the mic a wide, balanced response
Telefunken designed the M81-SH’s head and capsule to reduce the proximity effect created by the supercardioid polar pattern. That means your vocals won’t get boomy or indistinct, yet you still get the feedback-fighting characteristics of a directional microphone.
Remarkably consistent sound no matter what you’re plugging into
If you’re a live performer, you know that it’s tough to get a consistent sound every night when you’re plugging into a different mixing board each time. Different microphone preamplifiers can operate at different impedance levels, and that affects the sound of your microphone. The Telefunken M81-SH sports an American made, custom wound transformer that automatically matches impedance, and that means your vocal sound will be consistent no matter what you’re plugging into.
Clear, detailed sound is perfect for vocals or instruments
The diaphragm on the Telefunken M81-SH is super thin, which gives it a fast, un-colored response that captures your sound with incredible detail. Because it’s not a midrange-heavy mic like some dynamics, it’s not just for vocals. You can get great results with the M81-SH in front of a guitar amp, over a snare drum, or virtually any other instrument that needs a detailed, well-balanced microphone.
