"The other thing that was amazing was the Telefunken M80 microphone. That was the best mic I ever sang through. It was incredible. And we had it on a snare drum when we started! We were trying other vocal mics, and then Eric Ambel all of a sudden had the idea to try the M80. It was just the easiest mic. It was like singing live, like in a live concert. Usually we use those big friggin' hanging-from-a-rack-with-shock-mount crap; whatever those microphones are, they always get me uptight. I can hear myself too well. It's just like no fun for me to sing through. This was just like singing through a live damned band. And it was great. So we used that."

"I used to focus more on vocal effects pedals – running my M80 mic through guitar pedals and Boss loop station and my second mic (Beta 58) through a TC Helicon vocal pedal"

Andrew Savage

What mics were you using for vocals? > I pretty much do all my vocals on a Neumann U 47. Johnathan [Schenke] told me that one's best for my voice and I've always trusted him since. For the Parquet Courts record we just did in Texas, I ended up doing a lot of the vocals on a handheld Telefunken mic [M80]. I was able to get into the vocal part a bit more just by having something in my hand.

Not for everyone

This mic has a bit of presence to it and can produce plosives if you don't have great control, but for the right kind of vocalist, the sparkle and tone from this mic can go a long way. I like mine so much I want to upgrade to one of the custom finishes. Also makes a very good snare mic. There are some clubs where I've had engineers tell me they didn't like it, but on big stages it's killer and suits my voice well, to my ears anyway.

Amazing

This mic actually made me a better singer, has a great dynamic range in which you can get really emotional with your audience. It is very clear, high quality and worth every penny!
