Telefunken M60 Deluxe Tri-Mono Set

Professional Three-Microphone Set for Decca Tree Recording
The Telefunken M60 Deluxe Tri-Mono Set is a meticulously matched three-microphone system designed for professional classical, orchestral, and ensemble recording applications. Featuring three M60 FET small-diaphragm condenser microphones, each paired with TK61 omnidirectional capsules and 40mm diffuse field spheres, this set is optimized for the decca tree configuration—one of the most renowned stereo and surround recording techniques. Whether used in small ensembles or full orchestras, the M60 Deluxe Tri-Mono Set ensures pristine detail, depth, and balance in every performance.

Matched M60 FET Microphones for Unparalleled Accuracy
Each M60 microphone in this set is hand-selected and tested to ensure precise matching, delivering exceptional stereo imaging and spatial accuracy. The TK61 omnidirectional capsules provide a natural, uncolored representation of the sound source, making them ideal for room and ambient recording. The M60’s proprietary Class A discrete amplifier circuit provides fast transient response, high SPL handling, and an ultra-low self-noise design, making it the perfect choice for critical recording situations.

Diffuse Field Spheres for Enhanced High-Frequency Capture
A unique addition to this set is the inclusion of three removable 40mm diffuse field spheres, which enhance high-frequency response while maintaining a smooth, natural sound. Inspired by the historic Neumann M-50 capsule design, these spheres allow for a more balanced capture of direct and reverberant sound, reducing high-frequency loss and enhancing spatial realism. This feature is particularly beneficial for large performance spaces where clarity and definition are crucial.

Exceptional Frequency Response and Low Distortion
The M60 FET amplifiers provide a frequency response of +/- 2dB from 20Hz to 50kHz, ensuring that every nuance of a performance is captured with precision. Designed for superior sonic fidelity, the custom American-made transformer minimizes distortion with a typical THD+N of 0.015% or better. The M60’s true Class A amplifier design maintains signal purity, making it a go-to microphone for high-resolution recording applications.

Ideal for Classical, Orchestral, and Studio Applications
The decca tree technique, popularized in the 1950s for classical recordings, is enhanced by the M60 Deluxe Tri-Mono Set’s precise stereo matching and omnidirectional capture. This set is ideal for use over orchestras, choirs, chamber groups, and solo instrumental performances, as well as for ambient and room mic applications in modern studios. The versatility of the M60 FET allows it to excel across a wide range of recording environments.

Complete Professional Set with Accessories
This premium microphone package includes three M60 FET amplifiers, three TK61 omnidirectional capsules, three 40mm diffuse field spheres, three SGMC-5R right-angle microphone cables, three M761 elastic shock mounts, and a durable zipper carrying case for secure storage and transport. With its advanced engineering, exceptional components, and historical inspiration, the M60 Deluxe Tri-Mono Set is a vital addition to any serious recording setup.
