Telefunken Elektroakustik TF51

Telefunken Elektroakustik TF51 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with a tube, a frequency range of 50 Hz - 18000 Hz, powered by an external source and comes with a set of accessories.

The TF51 microphone offers a modern interpretation of the "Austrian" sound, inspired by legendary models TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251E and C12. This microphone continues the brand's excellent heritage, delivering distinct midrange and clear highs, while simultaneously capturing even the smallest nuances of sound. TF51 is the perfect choice for recording vocals, acoustic instruments and drums, thanks to its reliability and quality.

Similar to the 251E and C12 models, the TF51 uses a CK12-style edge-terminated capsule, a 6072A vacuum tube and a specially designed Haufe transformer. This synergy of components creates an open and smooth sound profile with high articulation, which can be described as incredibly realistic. TF51 is a microphone that can capture all the nuances of your sound.
