Brand: Telefunken
The Telefunken V 820 is a high-end condenser microphone that is widely regarded as one of the best in the industry. It is a large-diaphragm microphone, meaning that it has a larger capsule than typical microphones, which allows for greater sensitivity and detail in sound reproduction. The V 820 is often used in professional recording studios for recording vocals, instruments, and spoken word applications. It features a true large-diaphragm cardioid capsule, a low self-noise floor of just 6 dBA, and a flat frequency response, making it a versatile and highly accurate microphone. Some notable musicians and producers who have used the Telefunken V 820 include e.g. Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic), Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Sure thing!), Andy Bradfield (Plan B), Richard "Biff" Stannard (Atomic Kitten, Diima, The Calling) and Calvin Harris to name only a few.
