Telefunken TF51 Matched TF51 Stereo Microphone Set

Classic Austrian-Inspired Tube Microphone for Pristine Recording
The Telefunken TF51 Matched Pair is a set of frequency and gain-matched large-diaphragm tube condenser microphones designed to capture sound with unmatched detail and depth. Inspired by the iconic Telefunken ELA M 251E and C12, the TF51 delivers smooth midrange clarity, an open and airy top end, and a balanced low frequency response. This matched pair is ideal for stereo recording applications, including vocal ensembles, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and orchestral performances.

CK12-Style Capsule for Smooth Highs and Natural Midrange
At the heart of the TF51 is a CK12-style edge-terminated capsule, which produces a signature airy and open top end while maintaining a natural midrange presence. This design ensures that vocals and instruments sit effortlessly in a mix, reducing the need for excessive EQ adjustments. Whether tracking a lead vocal or capturing the nuance of stringed instruments, the TF51 excels at delivering lifelike recordings.

High-Quality 6072A Vacuum Tube for Classic Warmth
Equipped with the renowned Telefunken Elektroakustik 6072A vacuum tube, the TF51 adds warmth and harmonic richness to every recording. This tube enhances dynamic response and depth, making the microphone equally effective for intimate vocal recordings and high-energy instrumental performances. The smooth and natural character of the TF51 ensures clarity without introducing harshness or unwanted distortion.

German-Made Haufe Transformer for Full-Bodied Sound
The TF51 features a premium German-made Haufe transformer, the same trusted component found in the legendary ELA M 251E. This transformer plays a key role in shaping the microphone's overall sonic character, delivering articulate highs, detailed mids, and a controlled low-end response. Whether used for lead vocals, room miking, or stereo applications, the TF51 maintains balance and presence in any mix.

Multi-Pattern Flexibility for Versatile Studio Applications
With selectable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns, the TF51 adapts to a variety of recording needs. Cardioid mode isolates the source with precision, omnidirectional captures a full and natural room sound, and figure-8 is perfect for duet recordings or mid-side stereo techniques. This versatility makes the TF51 a valuable tool for engineers and producers working in both traditional and creative recording setups.

Complete Matched Pair Set for Professional Stereo Recording
The TF51 Matched Pair includes two meticulously tested microphones, each calibrated for consistency in stereo applications. The package also features two M 903 power supplies, M 803 cables, M 703 shock mounts, M 782 stand mounts, and ZC03 zipper cases, ensuring secure transport and long-term reliability. Whether recording a grand piano, an acoustic duo, or an entire orchestra, this matched pair delivers a cohesive and immersive sound.
