Product Description

The Telefunken Elektroakustik M82 Broadcast Package includes the M82 dynamic microphone, an M700 elastic suspension mount and the M786 Radio Boom Arm. This is a must have package for any broadcaster.

The M82 is a robust, end-address microphone that features a large dynamic diaphragm with superb low frequency capabilities. Though it was designed to capture fat and punchy kick drum tones, the two on-board EQ switches make the M82 equally suited for a multitude of sources including vocals, percussion, guitar and bass amplifiers, organ, and brass instruments. Both the KICK EQ and HIGH BOOST switches function independently and give the user the ability to tailor the microphone's response to the source with ease. The M82 is hand-assembled and tested in our American facility.

Sonic Characteristic

Though it was designed with the kick drum as a primary application, the two EQ switches make the M82 equally suited for a multitude of sources such as vocals, percussion, broadcast voice, guitar and bass amplifiers, organ, and brass instruments. On kick drum, the M82 is both fat and punchy. When placed just inside the hole of the resonant head, the M82's tailored frequency response captures both the beater attack and shell resonance without the need for multiple microphones.

Circuit Design

The M82 is an end-address microphone, meaning that you point the top portion of the head-grille 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.

The HIGH BOOST switch tilts the upper mid-range and high frequencies (starting around 2 kHz with a 6 dB boost by 10 kHz). For kick drum use, this allows for more beater attack when placed inside a kick drum. This gives you the option to have either a vintage-style kick drum sound, or a more modern sound. For a source such as vocals or guitar amps, the high boost provides further articulation and airiness in the upper register.

Construction

Construction wise, the M82 borrows heavily from the U47 body style by employing a head-grille of similar architecture. Finished in a durable smooth black finish on the head-grille and body, the M82 was rigorously tested to ensure it could handle the rugged role of a kick drum microphone for both studio and live environments.

Accessories

Along with the M700 elastic suspension mount and the M786 Radio Boom Arm, the M82 Broadcast Package includes the M 782 stand mount adapter, an SGMC-5R five meter XLR cable and protective zipper case.
