Telefunken M81 Oak Dynamic Microphone
The Telefunken M81 Oak is a limited-edition version of the versatile M81 dynamic microphone, featuring a stunning oak wood-inspired finish that offers a natural, warm aesthetic. Combining Telefunken’s world-class performance with a unique visual identity, this microphone is designed for artists, performers, and engineers who seek both exceptional sound and sophisticated style.
Just like the original M81, the M81 Oak is equipped with a low-mass diaphragm and a custom-wound impedance-matching transformer that provide a clean, natural tone with extended frequency response. The microphone delivers crisp highs, clear mids, and tight lows, making it ideal for vocals, electric guitars, snare drums, and brass instruments. Its neutral voicing ensures clarity without harshness, perfect for both live and studio applications.
The M81 Oak features a cardioid polar pattern, which offers excellent off-axis rejection and minimizes feedback. This makes it highly effective in both loud stage environments and controlled studio settings, providing isolation from unwanted noise while maintaining clarity on your primary sound source. With its high SPL handling, the M81 Oak is also capable of capturing powerful instruments without distortion.
Hand-assembled in the USA using premium materials, the Telefunken M81 Oak is built for longevity and professional use. Its unique oak finish brings a touch of nature to your gear collection, making it perfect for musicians and audio professionals who want both exceptional sound and a visually distinctive microphone.
