Telefunken M80 Satin Chrome Dynamic Microphone
The Telefunken M80 Satin Chrome is a premium dynamic microphone that combines Telefunken’s legendary sound quality with a stunning satin chrome finish. Designed for vocalists, musicians, broadcasters, and content creators, this microphone delivers condenser-like clarity in a durable dynamic format — with an elegant, brushed-metal look that suits both modern and vintage-inspired setups.
Internally identical to the original M80, this model features a low-mass diaphragm and a custom-wound impedance-matching transformer that provide a wide frequency response and crystal-clear audio capture. The M80 Satin Chrome delivers smooth highs, rich midrange, and tight, focused low-end — making it an ideal choice for live vocals, instruments, podcasting, and voiceover.
With its cardioid polar pattern, the M80 offers excellent off-axis rejection and gain-before-feedback, making it a go-to microphone for loud stages or close-miking situations. It’s praised for delivering a more open, detailed sound than most traditional dynamic mics, making it an excellent tool for performers who want their voice to cut through the mix without harshness.
The M80 Satin Chrome is hand-assembled in the USA using high-quality components and a rugged metal body built to withstand the demands of professional use. Whether on stage or in the studio, this mic offers both bold aesthetics and premium performance.
