About Telefunken TF47

Take your recording experience to the next level with the Alchemy Series TF47 Center Terminated Large-Diaphragm Microphone Stereo Set. This set is meticulously designed to capture the essence of the legendary "German" sound, drawing inspiration from the iconic U47 and M49 microphones. The TF47 is engineered to deliver a warm, punchy sound with a deep low end and a pronounced midrange, making it an exceptional choice for a wide range of applications.

At the core of the TF47's sound signature is an all-brass K47-style capsule, which is paired with a new old stock 5840W vacuum tube and a custom-made BV8 transformer, mirroring the classic components found in the U47. This combination ensures a sound that is both warm and robust, with a smooth top-end articulation that blends seamlessly into any mix.

The TF47 excels in capturing the nuances of vocals, the dynamic range of guitar amps, and the power of drums, adding depth and presence to your recordings. Its ability to handle complex sound sources with ease makes it an indispensable tool in any professional recording environment.

The Alchemy Microphone Series offers a unique opportunity to compare the distinct sonic characteristics of its models. The TF47, with its "German" voicing, stands alongside the "Copperhead" sound of the TF29 and TF39, and the "Austrian" voiced TF51. This allows for a versatile approach to recording, providing the perfect microphone to match the specific tonal qualities required for each project.

Every TF47 microphone system is equipped with a suite of premium accessories to ensure the highest quality recordings. The set includes a multi-pattern M 901S Power Supply, M 803 Tube Microphone Cable, M 703 Shock Mount, M 782 Stand Mount, and a protective Microphone Sleeve.

The M 901S Dual Tube Microphone Power Supply is a testament to TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's commitment to quality. It features a slow-ramping filament voltage to extend tube life and full regulation to maintain consistent performance regardless of line voltage variations. Hand-built in South Windsor, CT, USA, these power supplies are constructed with top-tier components such as Signal Transformers, Nichicon capacitors, and Neutrik connectors. The power supply is calibrated and burned in with the microphone system to ensure optimal performance.

The M 703 Microphone Elastic Shock Mount is designed to reduce mechanical noise and provide a stable platform for the TF47, ensuring that recordings are free from unwanted vibrations and handling noise.

Finally, the M 803 Tube Microphone Cable is crafted to connect the TF47 with the power supply, ensuring a pristine signal path without interference.

Elevate your studio's capabilities with the Alchemy Series TF47 Center Terminated Large-Diaphragm Microphone Stereo Set, a modern classic that pays homage to the revered microphones of the past while incorporating contemporary technology for today's recording professionals.
