[QUOTE="Cole Lofink, post: 40532, member: 36"] Re: Telefunken M80 Thursdays gig was a small outdoor stage, where stage volume was not an issue. The group was a small touring act called “The Billies's”. We provided PA and I mixed the group. On their rider they requested SM58s. Before the show I spoke with them about the Telefunken M80s. I asked if they wanted to give them a chance during sound check. They immedeititly fell in love with the mics. Craig Smith the group’s percussion and vocals made the comment “It’s amazing how sensitive these mics are, I can hear parts of my voice that I’m not use to hearing”. We ended up using them for the show, and I was quite satisfied with the results. Craig’s vocal sounded excellent. I used a HPF at 160Hz and had a small EQ cut at 250Hz. Chrisie the female lead and acoustic guitarist sounded pretty decent through the M80. What I mean by pretty decent is that the M80 sounded as good as say a 58 but either mic would NOT have been the best choice for her voice. Her jazzy folk rock style would have benefit much more from the Beta 87A in my mic inventory. Conclusion: The Telefunken M80 can be the perfect choice for certin vocals. However much like the SM58 it is NOT the BEST choice for all vocals. [/QUOTE]
