Customer Review Summary
The Telefunken M80 Copper is a striking microphone that certainly catches the eye with its attractive design.
Currently, it’s mainly being used in a practice space, and while it has its merits, the sound quality doesn’t entirely convince me. It can feel a bit sluggish in the higher ranges but offers a very transparent sound overall. To get the best performance, it requires the input gain on the mixer to be set quite high for optimal vocal clarity.
One of the standout features is its low feedback susceptibility, which can be a real advantage in live settings. However, I must mention that the price point feels quite steep for what it delivers. The microphone is comfortable to hold, albeit a bit heavy, likely due to its metal casing. On that note, the metal is quite prone to damage, so caution is advised; using it with a ring can lead to immediate scratches. The alloy is sensitive, which is something to consider.
Overall, despite its fragility and the price concern, the Telefunken M80 Copper remains a beautiful and functional device.
