Its wide frequency response, condenser-like high-frequency extension and high SPL handling let it capture the full range of a source, making it a reliable first choice for lead vocals, snare drum and brass. A custom-wound impedance-matching transformer and intelligent internal construction keep handling noise low, and the hand-assembled build is designed to withstand the wear and tear of the road. The TELEFUNKEN M80 Cherry has a cherry wood-grain finish on the body with a chrome headgrille, and the TELEFUNKEN diamond badge on the handle, with exactly the same capsule, transformer and specifications as the Standard finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMaximum SPL (1% THD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e135 dB SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eFrequency range, ±3 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e50 Hz - 18 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e1.54 mV\/Pa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003eSupercardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCherry wood-grain body with a chrome headgrille\u003c\/strong\u003e, identical specifications to the Standard finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondenser-like high-frequency extension\u003c\/strong\u003e that cuts through dense mixes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed sound with high SPL handling\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 dB SPL for 1% THD, for studio and stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupercardioid polar pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e with excellent feedback rejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25 mm dynamic moving-coil capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e with a wide 50 Hz - 18 kHz response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom-wound T80 impedance-matching transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e, 325 ohms output impedance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow handling noise\u003c\/strong\u003e from intelligent internal construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged, road-ready build\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed and hand assembled in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eSound character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eTELEFUNKEN voices the M80 with a pronounced, extended high-frequency response and a natural, condenser-like character with a subtle high-frequency rise. Vocals gain clarity and presence without harshness, and the snap of a snare drum or the edge of a trumpet comes through cleanly, so the M80 sits forward in a busy mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eThe Cherry finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe TELEFUNKEN M80 Cherry is one of the colours and finishes TELEFUNKEN offers for the M80 through its Custom Shop. The warm wood-grain look suits acoustic sets, worship spaces, lounges, podcast and broadcast studios and vintage-styled stages, and gives the microphone a distinctive, crafted appearance on camera. Only the look changes: the capsule, transformer, sound, specifications and included accessories are exactly those of the M80 in its Standard finish, so a cherry M80 can sit next to any other M80 on the same stage and sound the same. The headgrille is a separate part that TELEFUNKEN lists for the M80 and M81, so a spare chrome headgrille can be kept for touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eSupercardioid pickup and feedback rejection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe supercardioid pattern focuses on the source in front of the capsule and rejects sound from the sides, which gives excellent gain before feedback with floor wedges and keeps spill from neighbouring instruments low. On a crowded stage this helps each vocal and instrument stay separate and easy to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eCapsule and transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eAt the heart of the M80 is a 25 mm dynamic moving-coil capsule coupled to the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik T80, a custom-wound impedance-matching transformer, for a 325 ohms output impedance and a sensitivity of 1.54 mV\/Pa. The M80 shares its diaphragm and transformer with the M81 but is tuned for an extended top end, so the two models complement each other in multi-microphone set-ups such as drum kits, vocal groups and horn sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eBuilt for the road\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe 184 mm body weighs 430 g and is built to survive touring. The XLR connector is held in place inside the body by a recessed set screw, which can be re-tightened with a small flathead screwdriver if the connector ever works loose. As a dynamic microphone the TELEFUNKEN M80 Cherry needs no phantom power and connects with a standard 3-pin XLR microphone cable. Low handling noise from the intelligent internal construction keeps the channel clean when a performer holds the microphone and moves around the stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eOn stage and in the studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eOn stage, the M80's clarity helps a singer hear their own voice clearly in wedges or in-ear monitors without pushing the level, and its feedback rejection gives the engineer more headroom. In the studio, the same detailed, condenser-like top end captures vocals, snare and brass with presence, while the dynamic design handles very loud sources with ease. TELEFUNKEN also lists percussion and clean guitar amps among its strengths. For artists, bands, churches and venues that want a microphone with its own visual identity, the TELEFUNKEN M80 Cherry delivers the full M80 performance in a cherry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTELEFUNKEN M80 dynamic microphone, cherry body with chrome headgrille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eM 780 Microphone Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eMicrophone zipper bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 14px;padding:10px 14px;background:#F5F7F9;border-left:3px solid #006D77;font-size:14px;color:#1A1A2A;\"\u003eTELEFUNKEN warranty: 90 days on the capsule, extended to one year when the microphone is registered with TELEFUNKEN; Dynamic Series warranties are fully transferable between owners.
