The M82 is an end-address microphone and features two separate EQ
switches, KICK EQ and HIGH BOOST, which yield four unique settings,
giving the user the ability to tailor the microphone's response to the
source with ease . . .
Following the same design approach as our other Dynamic Series microphones, the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik M82
was created to cut through the crowded market competition to provide
users with the superior alternative to the industry-standard kick drum
and large diaphragm dynamic microphones. Hand-assembled and tested in
our facility in CT, USA, the M82 is a robust dynamic
microphone that features a large 35mm diaphragm with superb low
frequency capabilities. Like the M81 Universal Dynamic before it, the M82 derives its name from a series of astronomical galaxies first cataloged by the French astronomer Charles Messier.
The M82 is an end-address microphone, meaning that
you point the top portion of the headgrille at your source, and features
two separate EQ switches: KICK EQ and HIGH BOOST.
These two switches function independently of each other, which yields
four unique settings. This gives the user the ability to tailor the
microphone's response to the source with ease.
The M82's KICK EQ switch engages a
passive filter that reduces some of the lower mid-range frequencies
(centered around 350Hz) commonly cut when processing a kick drum. This
helps to keep your kick drum from sounding "boxy" and allows the low end
to remain strong. This setting is tailored specifically for kick drum
use.
