Telefunken TF47 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Tube Microphone

Part of Telefunken's Alchemy Series of large-diaphragm tube condenser mics, the TF47 features an all-brass, dual-sided, k47-style, center-terminated capsule, a new old-stock 5840W vacuum tube, and a custom-made, historically accurate BV8 transformer—all of which combine to give the mic it's distinctive, warm and punchy sound reminiscent of the U47. The frequency-response curve features a gradual midrange presense rise starting near 500 Hz and maxing out at about 3 dB in the 4 kHz range before quickly rolling off—delivering a pleasant top-end articulation that often helps vocals and guitars sit up front and center in the mix.

The TF47 features polar patterns switchable between cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure eight giving it additional flexibility for a wide variety of uses. An M 903 external power supply, connecting cable, stand mount, shockmount, and case are included.
