TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik of South Windsor, CT is introducing the new M81 universal dynamic cardioid microphone at Winter NAMM 2012. The new M81 has a more linear frequency response than the company's popular M80, resulting in a microphone with the distinct clarity TELEFUNKEN has become famous for, but with a different depth and body to the tone of the microphone, and less of the M80's characteristic high-end response.

"First developed over 50 years ago, the 'Decca Tree' utilized three matched Neumann omnidirectional M50s," explained Jason Scheuner, TELEFUNKEN's artist liaison. "We have created this new TRI-MONO configuration using our own ELA M 260s plus two sets of adaptor spheres to emulate the original design."
Telefunken Quotes:
"Bob Weir had previously used the M80 and suggested I check it out. The M80 microphone has an incredible balance of fidelity and rejection. These microphones worked flawlessly in the Dead's somewhat hazardous live sound environment."
– Derek Featherstone, FOH engineer, The Dead
