As Sublime continues its current run of live tour dates, the band’s evolving stage production is drawing attention for its clarity, consistency, and high-energy delivery. With Jakob Nowell at the helm on vocals, the group has been delivering performances that honor their legacy while pushing their live sound into a new era.
A key part of that vocal chain is the TELEFUNKEN M80-WH, bringing the acclaimed sonic character of the M80 platform into a fully wireless performance format designed for modern touring demands.
Known for its condenser-like detail, tight midrange focus, and strong rejection of stage bleed, the M80 has long been a go-to dynamic vocal microphone for live engineers working across rock, punk, reggae, and festival environments. The M80-WH extends that same performance philosophy to wireless systems, allowing performers to move freely on stage without sacrificing clarity, presence, or tonal consistency.
For Sublime’s dynamic live shows — where vocals must cut through dense instrumentation and high stage volume — the M80-WH provides the articulation and control needed to maintain intelligibility night after night, while preserving the natural energy of the performance.
“I always want to use Telefunken. They are amazing on drums and vocals, and nothing else compares.”
— Lance Brozovich, Monitor Engineer for Sublime
From classic hits to their ongoing live evolution, Sublime’s current tour highlights a band still deeply connected to its roots while embracing modern performance tools that elevate the live experience. With the TELEFUNKEN M80-WH in use on vocals, the band continues to deliver a sound that is both familiar and refreshed — powerful, present, and unmistakably alive.
