Telefunken TF47 Matched Pair - Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone (Matched Pair)

A Premium Matched Pair of Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphones
The Telefunken TF47 Matched Pair is a meticulously crafted set of frequency- and gain-matched large-diaphragm tube condenser microphones designed for professional studio recording. Inspired by the legendary U47 and M49, these microphones provide a bold, midrange-forward sound with a deep low end and smooth, detailed highs. Ideal for vocals, guitar amps, orchestral instruments, and percussion, the TF47 delivers warmth and clarity that enhances any recording session.

Vintage-Inspired Design with Modern Engineering
Built with the spirit of classic German tube microphones, the TF47 features a K47-style center-terminated capsule, a NOS 5840W vacuum tube, and a custom vintage-spec BV8 output transformer. These components work together to produce a rich, full-bodied sound with a pronounced midrange presence. Whether capturing lead vocals, drums, or string instruments, this microphone set delivers a timeless sonic character with modern precision.

Three Selectable Polar Patterns for Recording Versatility
Equipped with cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-eight polar patterns, the TF47 offers unmatched flexibility in any recording environment. The cardioid setting provides focused sound capture for vocals and solo instruments, while omnidirectional mode is perfect for room recordings and orchestral arrangements. The figure-eight pattern allows for advanced stereo techniques such as mid-side and Blumlein configurations, making these microphones invaluable for stereo recording applications.

Ideal for Vocals, Instruments, and Stereo Recording Techniques
The TF47 Matched Pair excels at capturing both male and female vocals with a distinct presence that cuts through the mix. Its deep, rounded low end and smooth top-end detail make it well-suited for acoustic and electric guitars, brass instruments, strings, and percussion. With two matched microphones, users can implement stereo recording techniques such as spaced pair (A/B), X-Y, ORTF array, and mid-side for superior depth and imaging in professional studio recordings.

High-Quality Components for Superior Performance
Hand-assembled in the USA, the TF47 microphones feature precision engineering and premium materials to ensure long-lasting reliability. The custom-designed BV8 output transformer is built using high-quality core material, faithfully replicating the transformer used in vintage U47 microphones. Combined with the NOS 5840W vacuum tube, the result is a microphone that provides warmth, detail, and exceptional dynamic range.

This matched pair comes with a dual M 903 power supply, two M 803 tube microphone cables, two M 703 elastic shockmounts, and two M 782 hard mounts for stable positioning. The microphones and accessories are housed in durable ZC03 hardshell zipper cases, ensuring safe transport and secure storage for both studio and on-location recording applications.
