M81 Blue

The M81 is a proven choice for countless sound sources both in the studio and on the stage. It possesses the same condenser-like response, minimal proximity effect, and superior feedback rejection one expects from a TELEFUNKEN Dynamic Series microphone. A smooth frequency response, clarity, and wealth of body make the M81 an ideal tool for taming brighter vocals, guitar tones, and fattening up toms, horns, or other thinner sounding sources. Built around a low-mass diaphragm designed to reduce proximity effect, and a custom-wound impedance matching transformer, the M81 features intelligent design and American-assembled construction, making it is an excellent first choice dynamic for most situations.

The M81 is available in a variety of colors and finishes through our Custom Shop, and in Low-Profile (M81-SH) and Wireless (M81-WH, M81-WH2) packages.

In the world of professional audio recording, capturing clear, precise, and powerful sound is paramount. Whether you are a vocalist, podcaster, or live sound engineer, the choice of microphone can make or break your final output. The Telefunken M 81 Blue dynamic microphone is designed specifically to meet the demands of professionals who require exceptional sound clarity and versatility. It offers a robust solution for capturing vocals and instruments with outstanding accuracy and minimal background noise, making it an indispensable tool for any serious audio setup.

One of the standout features of the Telefunken M 81 Blue is its supercardioid polar pattern. This means the microphone is highly directional and focuses on sound coming from the front while rejecting unwanted ambient noise from the sides and rear. For the user, this translates to cleaner recordings with less bleed from other instruments or environmental sounds – a vital advantage in both studio and live sound environments where clarity is essential.

The microphone’s capsule utilizes a 25mm dynamic moving coil design, paired with the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik T80 transformer. This combination ensures a rich, natural sound reproduction with excellent transient response. The T80 transformer also contributes to the microphone’s ability to handle extremely high sound pressure levels, up to 135 dB, without distortion. For performers and engineers, this means you can confidently capture even the loudest sources like drums, guitar amps, or powerful vocals without worrying about clipping or unwanted distortion.

With a frequency range spanning from 50 Hz to 18 kHz, the M 81 Blue delivers a well-balanced sound profile that captures both the low-end warmth and high-end detail essential for professional recordings. Its sensitivity rating of 1.54 mV/Pa ensures that even subtle nuances in performance are accurately translated into the audio signal. This attention to detail allows for recordings that are both dynamic and expressive, reflecting the true character of the sound source.

Practicality is also a key strength of the Telefunken M 81 Blue. Measuring 184 mm in length with a diameter of 48 mm and weighing 430 grams, the microphone is ergonomically designed for easy handling and positioning in a variety of recording setups. Its sturdy build quality ensures durability for frequent use in studio or live settings, making it a reliable partner for professionals who demand longevity from their gear.

The M 81 Blue excels in capturing vocals and a wide range of instruments, including brass, drums, and guitar amplifiers. Its ability to isolate the desired sound source while rejecting ambient noise makes it ideal for multi-microphone setups and live stage applications.
