Telefunken M62 M62 FET Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

High-Performance Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone for Precision Recording
The Telefunken M62 FET Hypercardioid Microphone is designed for recording applications that require precise sound capture with minimal off-axis noise. Featuring a tightly focused hypercardioid pickup pattern, this small-diaphragm condenser microphone excels at isolating individual instruments while reducing background noise, making it an ideal choice for drum overheads, percussion, and live performance recordings.

Optimized for Detail and Accuracy in Studio and Live Settings
The M62 FET utilizes a TK62 hypercardioid capsule, which features a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane measuring 15mm in diameter. This design delivers an extended low end with a quick and accurate transient response. The capsule’s frequency response is flat from 150 Hz to 3 kHz, with a slight dip at 6 kHz and a smooth, airy presence peak at 8 kHz, enhancing clarity while minimizing unwanted reflections. This makes the M62 a go-to microphone for capturing the rich detail of cymbals, acoustic instruments, and percussive sources.

Advanced FET Circuitry for Superior Sound Reproduction
The M62 FET amplifier is engineered with a unique proprietary circuit topology that ensures exceptional transient response and high SPL handling capabilities. Carefully selected components are hand-installed onto gold-plated circuit board traces, creating a true Class A discrete amplifier with ultra-low distortion. With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 50 kHz and a typical THD+N of 0.015% or better, the M62 delivers a pure and natural sound, making it ideal for critical recording situations.

Ideal for Stereo Pairing and Multi-Mic Setups
When used in a stereo pair, the M62 provides outstanding imaging and depth, making it a valuable tool for engineers looking to capture the full dimension of a sound source. Whether used in a spaced pair for drum overheads, a coincident setup for orchestral instruments, or as a spot mic in complex multi-microphone configurations, the M62’s hypercardioid pattern ensures precision and isolation.

Premium Build Quality for Professional Use
Hand-assembled in the U.S. with high-quality components, the M62 FET amplifier body is finished in a durable, lightly textured black powder coat and features the iconic Telefunken diamond badge. The XLR connector shell has a matte black nickel-plated finish, while the TK62 capsule is housed in a bright nickel-plated enclosure with a fine gold mesh pattern. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures durability and reliability for both studio and stage applications.
