The M82 is an end-address microphone, meaning you point the top part of the head grill towards your source, it is equipped with two separate EQ switches: high BOOST and KICK EQ.
These two switches work independently of each other, and this provides four unique settings and great flexibility. This allows the user to tailor the microphone’s response.
The HIGH BOOST switch boosts the upper midrange and the high frequencies (starting around 2 kHz with a 6dB boost at 10kHz). For broadcast vocals or guitar amps, it is thus possible to get extra articulation and airiness in the upper register. For kick drum use, it allows for more attack when placed in a kick drum.
This makes it possible to get either a vintage-style kick drum sound, or a more modern sound, or in connection with broadcast, where the M82’s direct sound gives a pleasant and detailed reproduction on the air.
On broadcast vocals, the M82 is both detailed and warm with a clear and open frequency response. A microphone that can be used both live and in the studio. The Telefunken M82 Broadcast Package is delivered incl. architect-arm microphone stand for mounting on table tops etc.
