TELEFUNKEN M80 Dynamic Microphone User Manual

1. ആമുഖം

The TELEFUNKEN M80 is a dynamic microphone designed to offer superior audio performance for a variety of applications. It provides a wider frequency response and higher sound pressure level (SPL) capabilities compared to standard dynamic microphones, delivering condenser-like performance in a robust dynamic design. The M80 is suitable for capturing vocals, instruments, and drums in both live stage and studio environments. Its low-mass capsule and thin, durable membrane contribute to its ability to capture a broad range of emotional nuances from live vocals, a characteristic often associated with studio-quality condenser microphones.

3.1 മൈക്രോഫോൺ മൌണ്ട് ചെയ്യുന്നു

The M80 microphone is designed for handheld use or mounting on a standard microphone stand. Use the included microphone clip for secure attachment.

1. Attach the microphone clip to a standard microphone stand (not included) by screwing it onto the threaded post.
2. Gently insert the base of the M80 microphone into the clip until it is securely held.

3.2 മൈക്രോഫോൺ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുന്നു

The M80 uses a standard 3-pin XLR connector for audio output. It is a passive dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power.

1. Connect one end of a balanced XLR cable (not included) to the XLR output port at the base of the M80 microphone.
2. Connect the other end of the XLR cable to an available microphone input on your mixer, audio interface, or preampജീവൻ.

4. മൈക്രോഫോൺ പ്രവർത്തിപ്പിക്കൽ

4.1 പോളാർ പാറ്റേൺ

The TELEFUNKEN M80 features a unidirectional (cardioid) polar pattern. This means the microphone is most sensitive to sounds coming from directly in front of it and significantly less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear. This characteristic helps to reduce feedback in live sound environments and isolate the desired sound source in the studio.

4.2 Recommended Uses and Placement

The M80 is versatile and excels in various applications:

• Vocals (Singing & Speech): For lead vocals, position the microphone 2-6 inches from the mouth. Experiment with distance to control proximity effect (increased bass response when close to the mic). For speech, maintain a consistent distance for clear articulation.
• ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ: Can be used for guitar amplifiers, snare drums, and other instruments. For guitar amps, try positioning the microphone 1-6 inches from the speaker cone, off-axis for a warmer tone, or on-axis for more bite.
• ഡ്രംസ്: Effective for snare drum, tom-toms, or as an overhead microphone in certain setups.

Always monitor your sound through headphones or speakers to find the optimal placement for your specific application.

5. പരിപാലനം

5.1 വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ

To maintain the performance and appearance of your M80 microphone:

• മൃദുവായതും ഉണങ്ങിയതുമായ തുണി ഉപയോഗിച്ച് മൈക്രോഫോൺ ബോഡി തുടയ്ക്കുക.
• For the grille, use a soft brush to remove any debris. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the grille or capsule.
• Ensure the microphone is disconnected from any power source before cleaning.

5.2 സംഭരണം

When not in use, store the M80 in its protective pouch to shield it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.

5.3 കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യുന്നതിനുള്ള മുൻകരുതലുകൾ

• Avoid dropping the microphone, as this can damage the internal components.
• Do not expose the microphone to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the microphone. Refer to qualified service personnel for repairs.

6. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

If you encounter issues with your TELEFUNKEN M80, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• ശബ്ദമില്ല:
  • Ensure all XLR cables are securely connected at both the microphone and the input device.
  • Verify that the input channel on your mixer or interface is selected and its gain is turned up.
  • കേബിളിന് തകരാറുണ്ടോ എന്ന് ഒഴിവാക്കാൻ മറ്റൊരു XLR കേബിൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് പരിശോധിക്കുക.
  • Confirm that the input device is powered on and functioning correctly.
• വികലമായ ശബ്ദം:
  • Reduce the input gain on your mixer or interface. The M80 has high SPL capabilities, so excessive gain can cause clipping.
  • Ensure the microphone is not positioned too close to a very loud sound source, which could overload the capsule.
  • Check for any processing (e.g., compression, EQ) that might be causing distortion.
• ഫീഡ്ബാക്ക്:
  • Reposition the microphone further away from speakers or monitors.
  • Adjust the angle of the microphone, utilizing its unidirectional polar pattern to point away from sound sources that could cause feedback.
  • Reduce the overall volume or specific frequency ranges that are feeding back.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik support for further assistance.
