Telefunken TF17 FET Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Give your vocals and electric/acoustic instruments the sound they deserve with the Telefunken TF11 FET, an Alchemy Series large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that combines the iconic mid-forward German voicing with modern FET technology. Featuring a K47-style, center-terminated capsule and UK-made OEP/Carnhill transformer with a high-grade nickel-iron core, the TF11 FET is sonically bold with a punchy transient response, high SPL handling, and very low self-noise.

The TF11's extended low-frequency response, strong midranges, and smooth top end benefit voices, drums, electric guitars, and pianos, and its true cardioid polar pattern is ideal for recording in project studios, commercial facilities, or live onstage. Included is an M 703 elastic shockmount, M 782 hard mount, mic sleeve, and MC11 mic case.
