SOUND CHARACTERISTICS

The Telefunken M410 O delivers a beautifully natural, open sound with impressive fullness for an omni dynamic.

• Smooth low-end extension without artificial boost
• Clear, stable midrange
• Controlled upper presence
• Wide, even tonal balance

Because of its omnidirectional design, proximity effect is minimal. This makes it ideal for:

• Natural voice capture
• Acoustic instruments
• Ensemble recording
• Room and ambient pickup
• Broadcast-style speech

It captures space honestly while But with lots its own added character . such omni design are extremely sensitive to any kind of near field acoustic obstacles and reflections. even holding it in your hand can dramatically effect sound because of acoustic shadow registered from the hand. this is another reason why using a gooseneck connector without any holder on the microphones body leaves it even more true and open.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE

Estimated Frequency Response:
50 Hz – 15,000 Hz

• Smooth low-frequency extension
• Even midrange response
• upper mids is the presence region. typical omni.
• Natural high-frequency roll-off typical of vintage dynamics
