With a wider frequency response and a higher SPL (Sound Pressure Level) limit, the M80 possesses characteristics similar to those of a condenser microphone, all within a robust dynamic microphone design that can be used for vocals, instruments, or drums in both stage and recording settings.

TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik has created the M80 as a superior alternative to the overly colored character of the "industry standard microphone."

Thanks to the low mass of the capsule and the ultra-thin yet remarkably durable capsule membrane, the M80 delivers exceptional sound reproduction of vocal performances typically associated with studio condenser microphones.

The microphone head and capsule design have been engineered to minimize the proximity effect, which can unnaturally boost the low frequencies in a voice. Nevertheless, the microphone sounds very solid and grounded in the bass, while simultaneously being "open" and "airy," without producing unwanted feedback in the upper midrange.
