Telefunken has packaged three of its Dynamic Series microphone line as the DD4 and DD5 Drum Microphone Sets, aimed at studio recording and live performance applications.
Each set includes the M82 for kick drum, M80-SHB for snare and M81-SH for toms. The DD4 and DD5 sets ship in heavy-duty, hard-shell FC80 flightcases, and include multiple drum mounts (M782, M784 and M785) and a SGMC-5R 5m XLR cable with a right-angle female connector for each mic in the set.
The M80-SHB is intended for use on snare drum and vocal applications where a lower profile microphone with right-angle XLR cable is needed. The mic has the same circuit as the M80 Standard, housed in a shorter microphone body with a built-in stand mount. It offers a wide frequency response and high SPL capabilities, with a tight cardioid polar pattern and a frequency response with a subtle rise in the high end. The M80-SHB is finished on both the grille and body with a durable, textured black powder coat.
The M81-SH was designed to complement the M80-SH. It retains the same minimal proximity effect, high feedback rejection and an articulate mid-range, but with the top end is pulled back for a flatter overall frequency response. The M81-SH is identical to the M81 circuit, but housed in a shorter microphone body with a built-in stand mount, and finished in a durable, textured dark gray powder coat on both the grille and body.
The M82 Dynamic is a robust, large-diaphragm end-address dynamic microphone designed for kick drum and vocal broadcast applications. It features two independently EQ switches: Kick EQ and High Boost, creating four voices. The Kick EQ switch engages a passive filter that reduces some of the lower mid-range frequencies (centred around 350Hz) commonly cut when processing a kick drum. The High Boost switch tilts the upper mid-range and high frequencies (starting around 2kHz with a 6dB boost by 10kHz). In the flat setting (both switches off), the M82 is suited to vocals, guitar amps, and brass.
