The TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik M80 Dynamic microphone is rapidly becoming a new standard for live performance and stage use. The microphone features a low-mass capsule built with a super thin Mylar membrane that is coupled with our propriety step up transformer to give superior clarity and extended high frequency response (which in many ways is similar to what one might expect from a condenser microphone), in a rugged design meant for daily abuse in touring applications.
A band called "Green Day" tried the M80 and found they liked the tone of the microphone in various applications, but especially on vocals. The only fly in the ointment was that "Green Day" isn't a club band, they're an internationally prominent act that regularly sells out "arena" and "stadium" venues which in this day and age means that a wired vocal microphone is out of the question. With a bit of experimentation and some custom machining the design team at TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik was able to successfully modify their current Shure® wireless microphones to feature a TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik headgrille, capsule, and transformer.
After giving the modified Shure® mic a try, more than 30 wireless microphones were modified for Green Day's current world tour. From this success "team TELEFUNKEN" has developed a standard modification process for Shure® microphones, with our own transmitter / receiver system in development. As every week passes more and more artists are discovering TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's modification for their own tours, as well as for houses of worship and corporate presentations.
PLEASE NOTE: This modification may void/affect the original manufacturer's product warranty. If you have a question in this regard we would urge you to check with Shure Inc. before sending a microphone in for modification. ALSO NOTE: The application of the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik logo to the body of the Shure Inc. transmitter does not imply any affiliation, authorization or endorsement by Shure Inc. of the M80 modification. This is an independent / aftermarket product which has been developed by TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik at the behest of independent customers. Some of these independent customers asked us to apply our logo to the transmitter body because let's face it... it's a really cool logo. Modification is also available without TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik logo if you so desire.
