Telefunken M260-A M 260 TUBE Amplifier Body

Premium Tube Microphone Amplifier for Professional Audio Recording
The Telefunken M260-A is a high-quality tube amplifier body designed for use with the ELA M 260 microphone system. Engineered with precision and built with premium components, this amplifier body delivers the warmth, clarity, and responsiveness expected from a world-class small-diaphragm tube microphone. Whether you're recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, or orchestral performances, the M260-A ensures that every detail is captured with exceptional accuracy.

Classic Tube Warmth with Modern Engineering
At the heart of the M260-A is a vintage-inspired New Old Stock (NOS) 5840W vacuum tube, carefully selected for its smooth tonal character and rich harmonic detail. This tube provides the warmth and depth that tube microphones are known for while maintaining a balanced frequency response that enhances both high and low frequencies without excessive coloration. The result is a recording that feels natural, dynamic, and full of life.

Handcrafted for Superior Reliability
Every M260-A amplifier body is meticulously hand-assembled in the USA using high-grade components, including a custom-wound output transformer. This level of craftsmanship ensures consistent performance and reliability, making it a trusted choice for professional studios and engineers who demand the best in their signal chain. With a robust yet lightweight construction, the M260-A is built to withstand the demands of both studio and live environments.

Versatile Compatibility with Interchangeable Capsules
The M260-A amplifier body is designed to accommodate Telefunken's interchangeable TK60, TK61, and TK62 small-diaphragm capsules. This flexibility allows you to tailor the microphone’s pickup pattern to different recording applications, whether you need a cardioid response for focused sound, an omnidirectional pattern for room ambience, or a hypercardioid setting for tight directionality.

Ideal for Capturing Acoustic Instruments and Vocals
Renowned for its ability to capture the nuances of stringed instruments, pianos, and percussive elements, the M260-A is a go-to choice for engineers looking for pristine, detailed recordings. The combination of its small-diaphragm tube design and premium electronics ensures that even the most delicate performances are reproduced with remarkable depth and realism.
