TELEFUNKEN M81 Guitar Recording microphone

TELEFUNKEN M81 as guitar recording microphone

An updated model of TELEFUNKEN’s signboard model M80.
While maintaining the high performance and ease of use that the M80 has been described as “condenser mic-like”, the characteristic high-frequency characteristics have been reviewed, resulting in an extremely flat, straightforward and easy-to-use sound overall. M80 is for high, and M81 is for balance. It features a clear, detailed sound and a wide range, and while it is certainly a dynamic microphone, it gives the impression of a condenser microphone.
In particular, it converts harsh high-frequency sounds into a mellow and familiar sound, so it goes well with electric guitars. It is also characterized by the fact that the proximity effect is well suppressed.

The grey-finish metal body and chrome head grille have a solid weight and are extremely durable.
Without adding any unique character to the sound, this unit is highly recommended as another standard of TELEFUNKEN as it faithfully reproduces the sound while suppressing feedback and proximity effect.
The M81 condenser microphone has a strong image as a guitar recording microphone,
Although TELEFUNKEN is known for condenser mics, the dynamic M81 is a microphone that can record very clear and tight low frequencies. Due to its characteristics, it is suitable for recording instruments of various genres such as Jazz, Acoustic, as well as Rock.

For electric guitar recording, the highs are well cut and the bass is tight, thus it can accurately capture the contours of the guitar sound.
