The M80 Handheld Dynamic Microphone from Telefunken is designed to deliver condenser-like audio for the stage and studio. The M80 features a low mass capsule and thin capsule membrane which deliver a wide frequency response and offer high SPL capability, allowing for use with vocals, instruments, and drums. The microphone's head grill and capsule assembly reduce proximity effect, resulting in low-end clarity for vocals while still providing strength and authority with an open, airy character. A tight cardioid polar pattern and frequency response with a subtle rise in the high end provide the M80 with characteristics suitable for live vocal applications. The package includes a microphone clip, a leather carrying case, and a packing tube.
