[NAMM] Telefunken Elektroakustic M82 mic

The M82 is an end-address cardioid microphone and features two separate EQ switches which allows for a multitude of sources such as vocals, percussion, broadcast voice, guitar and bass amplifiers, organ, and brass instruments. These two switches function independently of each other, which gives the user the ability to tailor the microphone’s response to the source.

The 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 setting is tailored specifically for kick drum use.

The High Boost switch tilts the upper mid-range and high frequencies (starting around 2kHz with a 6dB boost by 10kHz). For kick drum use, this allows for more beater attack when placed inside a kick drum and 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.
