Telefunken M82 Dynamic Large Diaphragm Kick Drum Microphone Bass Guitar Amps
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.
The M82 is included in all Drum Packs and is also available in the M82 Podcast package, which includes a high-quality boom arm and shock mount.

The single-channel active TDA-1 phantom powered direct boxes utilize top quality components in a modern take on classic circuitry to deliver a full, rich sound that both complements and retains the natural tone and character of the instrument. By pairing discrete Class-A FET circuitry with a high quality, European-made transformer and a rugged metal enclosure, the TDA DI’s provide exemplary sound quality and reliable performance. The circuit boasts a frequency response of ± 2dB from 20 Hz to 70 kHz with extremely low distortion and self-noise, and each individual unit is manually tuned for the lowest possible distortion figure in TELEFUNKEN’s US facility. This careful attention to detail and high-quality component choices result in a harmonically rich low end and a detailed, open high-end. On the TDA-2, each channel features its own independent -15dB pad, ground lift, and +48V phantom power LED indicator. Every TDA unit is assembled, tuned and tested in Connecticut, USA.
