Telefunken TF47 Three-Pattern Large Diaphragm System

Boasting newly designed custom headgrilles for transparency and openness, hand-plugged circuit boards, and selected American and European vacuum tubes and transformers, the TF47 from TELEFUNKEN delivers the combination of vintage microphone elements and modern fidelity and reliability.The design of the TF47 is based on the “German” sound, drawing inspiration from the historic U47 and M49. With a deep low end and a forward midrange, the TF47 is excellent for adding depth and presence to any source. These characteristics make it especially ideal for recording vocals, guitar amps, and drums.At the heart of the TF47 is an all-brass K47-style capsule, new old stock 5840W vacuum tube, and custom-made historically accurate BV8 transformer (as found in the U47). These components deliver a warm and punchy sound reminiscent of the U47 and M49 with a pleasant top end articulation that sits perfect in a mix. This Alchemy Series Microphone TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik has been designed, hand-built, and tested to strict quality standards in Connecticut, USA, featuring unique sonic profiles developed from the ground up.ApplicationsR&B, rap or aggressive vocals, female soul vocalsUpright bassToms and kick outTromboneCelloPercussionIncludesTF47 Three-pattern large diaphram microphoneM 903 Power SupplyM 803 Tube Microphone CableM 703 Shock MountM 782 Stand MountMicrophone SleeveZC03 Zipper Shell CaseFeaturesForward mid-range, reminiscent of the U47Smooth and detailed top endFull and round low endHand assembled in the USAK47-style capsule and BV8 transformer, similar to the U47SpecificationsCapsule: K47-Style Center-TerminatedTube Type: NOS 5840WTransformer: Custom-Made Vintage Spec BV8Polar Pattern: Cardioid, Omni, Figure-8Dimensions (L x Dia): 7.87 x 1.81 in (200 mm x 46 mm)Microphone Weight: 1.53 lbs (695 g) Telefunken TF47 Three-Pattern Large Diaphragm Microphone System.
