TELEFUNKENElektroakustik M80 Black Dynamic Microhpone

Comparing with my Shure Super 55, the sound is brighter with more detailed in the mids, less pronounced proximity effect and slightly less output (had to gain it up about 20% from the Shure). Good weight in your hand. Not as glamorous as the Shure, quickly becoming my preferred tool.

Been singing for 35 years this is a great mic, nice and clear so far so good!

I’ve always used a 58 Beta for the last 22 years of my music career. As a frontman who sings 100% of our set, I’ve been interested in trying a new mic. After a lot of research I decided to give the M80 a try and I am so happy I did. I have a wide vocal range, so towards the end of the night after hearing every Journey high note come through crystal clear. It’s so much fun to follow it up with some Johnny Cash and get to showcase my deeper range with so much more clarity than my Beta. I’ll always have fond feelings for that Shure 58 Beta…but I believe I’ve in love with the M80. I’ll just keep the Beta in my bag as my side piece. Lol

Sounds good I like it

My go to mic. Never song into some crappy club mic again. Sounds excellent.

I've used the M80 for both vocals and acoustic guitar and it is by far one of my favorite mics. One of the vocalists said after using it that that was the first time she'd ever gone home from a gig and didn't feel a little hoarse. I could tell from the mix position that the vocalists felt a lot more comfortable in front of them. The quality of the mic gave them that extra bit of confidence to sing exceptionally.For the acoustic guitar I tested a number of mics including the Audix OM6 and the Shure SM57 and this one beat both of those. It had great presence and a nice round bass response without being over-bearing at all.

NOT IMPRESSED AT ALLI expected a much better sound with the TELEFUNKEN M80 Dynamic Microphone; Black. I have two other microphones (a Samson S2 and an old Radio Shack Unidirectional IMP-600S2 microphone) which produce a much louder and better sound where I do not have to get so close to have it catch my voice especially when playing instruments. Two different cables (one thinner than the other) were tried which worked well with both of my other microphones, but did not improve the TeleFunken M80 Dynamic Microphone sound. All were tested with the same volume. For this reason, it is being returned.

excellent lows, minimal proximatey effect and incredible mids and highs not to mention great feedback rejection. I would put this on par with the shure beta 87a with a more cotrolled proximatey effect and better feedback rejection.
