Telefunken TF11 FET Stereo Set

A Large-Diaphragm FET Microphone for Studio and Live Performance
The Telefunken TF11 FET is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed to provide an open, detailed, and dimensional sound while handling high SPLs with clarity. As part of Telefunken’s Alchemy Series, this microphone blends classic voicing with modern FET technology to capture vocals and instruments with precision. Whether in a project studio, commercial facility, or live performance setup, the TF11 delivers the airy, transparent tone reminiscent of the legendary C12 microphone.

High-Quality Components for Exceptional Sound
Built with a CK12-style edge-terminated capsule, the TF11 ensures a smooth and natural frequency response with fast transient accuracy. The proprietary FET-based amplifier is modeled after Telefunken’s M60 circuit, providing ultra-low noise performance while maintaining the clarity and character expected from high-end studio microphones. The combination of premium components ensures every recording is full of depth and articulation.

Custom Transformer for Enhanced Signal Integrity
The TF11 is equipped with a custom, large-format, nickel-iron core transformer made by OEP/Carnhill in the UK. This transformer enhances low-end response while maintaining transparency in the upper frequencies, ensuring a balanced and natural recording. The use of premium through-hole components, including UK-made polystyrene film capacitors and Nichicon Fine Gold electrolytic capacitors, further contributes to the microphone’s sonic accuracy and reliability.

Cardioid Polar Pattern for Focused Sound Capture
Designed with a fixed cardioid polar pattern, the TF11 captures sound with precision while reducing ambient noise from the rear. This makes it an excellent choice for vocal recordings, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and stage performances where isolation and clarity are essential. The microphone’s ability to handle SPLs up to 135 dB ensures distortion-free recording, even with high-energy sound sources like electric guitars and percussion.

Hand-Assembled and Rigorously Tested in the USA
Each TF11 microphone is designed, assembled, and tested in the USA to meet Telefunken’s high standards of quality and consistency. Every critical component, including capsule frequency response, transistor noise, and distortion levels, is tested before installation. After assembly, each TF11 amplifier is hand-tuned to achieve optimal sonic performance, ensuring reliability in professional studio and live environments.

Compact and Travel-Friendly Design
The TF11’s deep indigo blue powder-coated finish with black nickel hardware gives it a sleek and professional appearance. Its compact form factor, one inch shorter than other Alchemy Series microphones, makes it easy to transport and set up. Without the need for an external power supply or proprietary cable, the TF11 simplifies the recording process, making it an ideal choice for engineers on the go.

Complete Recording Package with Essential Accessories
The TF11 comes with all necessary accessories to ensure seamless integration into any studio or live setup. This package includes an M 703 elastic shock mount, an M 782 stand mount for precise positioning, a mic sleeve, and a protective storage case. These accessories provide stability and protection, making the TF11 ready for any recording or performance application.

A Versatile Microphone for Professionals and Creators
With its fast transient response, detailed tone, and modern FET amplifier design, the Telefunken TF11 is a powerful tool for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, and more. Whether in a high-end studio or a live performance setting, this microphone delivers professional-grade results with the reliability and clarity expected from Telefunken.
