[QUOTE="Cole Lofink, post: 40715, member: 36"] Re: Telefunken M80 Sundays gig comes along and yet another loud stage to battle. I made the decision ahead of time to not use the Telefunken M80 as my primary vox mic. Instead I went with my current mic of choice for rock/punk, Audix OM7s. I ended up using the Telefunken M80 on snare. Some notes on the Telefunken M80 as snare mic; - The mic is heavy and unless you have really good/heavy stands, its going to pull them over or down. -The mic is much bigger the an I5 or SM57 thus making it impractical to clip directly onto the drum. + It sounds pretty good, not any better/worse then Beta 57 I’m use to on snare. + Drummers like shinny things so anything with some “bling” like the M80s grill is a welcome addition to their kit. + The grill is SUPER tough and can take a stick hit like a champ. Conclusion: Although good sounding, The Telefunken M80s size and weight make it a less then ideal snare mic. On a side note: Two of the four bands were carrying there own mic packages. One band had mostly EV mics, and were using EV PL80s on all 4 of their vocals. The whole set all I could think about was WOW these mics sound fantastic. They cut through the mix nicely, had clean well defined low-end, and had great gain before feedback! [/QUOTE]
