Telefunken TK62-S Small-Diaphragm Hypercardioid Capsules (Matched Pair)

Matched Hypercardioid Capsules for Precision Recording
The Telefunken TK62-S is a matched pair of high-quality small-diaphragm condenser capsules designed for use with the ELA M 260 tube and M60 FET microphones. Engineered for precision, these 15mm hypercardioid capsules provide exceptional directional sensitivity, making them an ideal choice for capturing cymbals, percussion, and live stage performances with clarity and detail. Each capsule undergoes rigorous testing to ensure a sensitivity tolerance of just 1 dB, offering perfect stereo matching for professional recording applications.

Hypercardioid Polar Pattern for Superior Isolation
The TK62-S capsules feature a hypercardioid polar pattern, which delivers enhanced off-axis rejection while maintaining a natural and open sound. This design allows for improved isolation of the desired sound source, reducing unwanted ambient noise and feedback. Whether used in the studio or on stage, these capsules provide excellent control over sound directionality, making them particularly useful for overhead drum miking, close-miking percussion, and isolating instruments in live environments.

Flat Frequency Response with Smooth Presence Boost
With a flat response from 150 Hz to 3 kHz and a subtle presence peak at 8 kHz, the TK62-S captures audio with an unhyped midrange and airy high frequencies. This balanced tuning ensures a natural sound reproduction, making it well-suited for detailed recordings of cymbals, acoustic instruments, and percussive elements. The capsules deliver clarity without excessive brightness, preserving the tonal character of the source while adding just the right amount of presence.

Gold-Sputtered Diaphragm for High-Fidelity Performance
Each TK62-S capsule is equipped with a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane, offering superior transient response and low self-noise. The high-quality diaphragm design enhances the capsule’s ability to capture fast transients with remarkable accuracy, making it an excellent choice for percussive instruments and intricate acoustic performances. This attention to detail in construction ensures that every recording is crisp, articulate, and full of depth.

Perfectly Matched for Stereo Recording Applications
Designed as a matched pair, the TK62-S capsules provide a balanced stereo image, ensuring consistency in professional recording setups. The meticulous matching process guarantees a 1 dB sensitivity tolerance, which is critical for accurate stereo miking techniques, such as spaced pairs, XY configurations, and overhead drum placements. This level of precision makes them indispensable for engineers seeking a cohesive stereo field with excellent imaging.

Reliable and Versatile for Studio and Live Use
Whether capturing the shimmer of cymbals in a live setting or the delicate nuances of acoustic instruments in the studio, the TK62-S offers the versatility needed for a range of professional audio applications. Their robust construction and precise tuning make them an essential upgrade for engineers and musicians looking for high-quality, hypercardioid capsules that deliver professional results every time.
