Telefunken M60 Small Diaphragm FET Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Professional-Grade Small Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone
The Telefunken M60 Cardioid is a high-precision small-diaphragm FET condenser microphone designed for professional recording applications. Featuring the TK60 cardioid capsule, this microphone offers a highly detailed and natural response, making it an excellent choice for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, and other intricate sound sources. Built with Telefunken’s renowned craftsmanship, the M60 delivers exceptional clarity, fast transient response, and low distortion, ensuring every nuance is captured with pristine accuracy.

Advanced FET Circuitry for Unmatched Performance
Unlike traditional vacuum tube microphones, the M60 is built with a solid-state FET amplifier, offering ultra-fast transient response and an extended frequency range. The proprietary Class A discrete amplifier circuit is hand-assembled with gold-plated circuit board traces, ensuring high headroom, low self-noise, and a transparent signal path. With an impressive frequency response of +/- 2dB from 20 Hz to 50 kHz, the M60 provides a natural, uncolored sound that faithfully reproduces the source.

Premium TK60 Cardioid Capsule for Precision Recording
Equipped with the interchangeable TK60 cardioid capsule, the M60 is optimized for capturing direct sound sources with minimal off-axis coloration. The capsule features a 6-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm measuring 15mm in diameter, providing a balanced frequency response with a subtle 8 kHz presence boost. This design enhances clarity and detail, making it ideal for percussive and plucked instruments, where accuracy in transient capture is essential.

Built for Critical Recording Applications
The M60 excels in high-SPL environments, handling extreme sound pressure levels without distortion. Whether used in a close-miking setup for drums or capturing the delicate tones of a grand piano, this microphone maintains exceptional dynamic range and articulation. The transformer-coupled output ensures a rich, full-bodied tone while keeping harmonic distortion at a minimum, achieving a THD+N of just 0.015% or better.

Durable Construction with Classic Telefunken Aesthetics
Designed for both studio and stage use, the M60 features a rugged metal body with a black powder-coated finish, providing durability and professional aesthetics. The XLR connector shell is coated in matte black nickel plating and engraved with the model and serial number, while the TK60 capsule showcases a bright nickel-plated enclosure with a fine gold mesh pattern. This combination of durability and elegant design makes the M60 a visually striking and reliable microphone for any professional setup.
