M80

Over the last decade the M80 has become a staple in live sound reinforcement and studio recording. Its wide frequency response, condenser-like performance, and high SPL capabilities allow the M80 to capture the full range of any sound source, making it a reliable first choice for many sources including lead vocals and snare drum. Featuring a custom-wound impedance matching transformer, its unmatched performance is mated with intelligent internal construction to provide low handling noise. Hand-assembled in the USA, the M80’s rugged build quality is designed to withstand the wear and tear of the road.

The M80 is available in a variety of colors and finishes through our Custom Shop, and in Low-Profile (M80-SH) and Wireless (M80-WH) packages.

 “I’ve been using the Telefunken M80 on vocals for a few tours now and am constantly impressed with both how consistent they are show to show with Tom and The Heartbreakers, coupled with their reliability and durability. The 80 is a really wonderfulvocal and instrument mic, nothing less than I would expect from a company with the pedigree of Telefunken.” 

Robert Scoville – FOH Tom Petty, Rush, Prince

“More than anything, it just opened up my in-ear mix like crazy. I had had a lot of problems with my vocals trying to stand out in my mix. I was just pushing my vocal way too far and had it way too loud in my mix just to get the clarity that I needed. When I switched to that M80, I had no issues whatsoever. My vocal stood out perfectly. It was just dead center, crisp and clear. I had all my other instruments separated out, and easy to hear. Yeah, the M80 live has been a life-changing capsule for me. I’ll definitely never use anything else unless Telefunken decides to make that one even better.”
