For the Beach Boy's 50th Anniversary world tour and continuing engagements, the band has chosen the M80 dynamic microphone from TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik in the new "Woody" faux oak finish. The first 15 mics off the handmade assembly line went out on the 50th Anniversary world tour and were signed by the band to raise funds for their favorite charity, The Surfrider Foundation. Additional "Woody" mics are still on the road for continuing Beach Boys engagements. TELEFUNKEN's artist liaison Jason Scheuner explained, "As luck would have it, we had just come up with the new oak finish, reminiscent of the surfer's favorite old Woody station wagons of the '40s. We said if the band would sign them, we would donate and auction them off for their favorite charity."

It delivers depth, warmth, clarity and a pure sound that is inspiring to record with."
