Telefunken Alchemy Series TF51 Edge Terminated Large-Diaphragm Microphone Stereo Set

An embodiment of superior audio technology, the Alchemy Series TF51 Edge Terminated Large-Diaphragm Microphone Stereo Set offers an unparalleled sound experience. This large-diaphragm multi-pattern TF51 microphone is renowned for its smooth midrange and airy top end, reminiscent of the iconic ELA M 251E and C12. The TF51 is a modern interpretation of the classic "Austrian" microphone sound, delivering a rich, detailed audio profile that is perfect for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, and percussion.

The TF51's lifelike fidelity is achieved through the use of high-quality components inspired by its historic predecessors. The 6072A vacuum tube, also found in the ELA M 251E and C12, is paired with an edge-terminated style capsule similar to the historic CK12. The output transformer is a custom German-made Haufe transformer, the original manufacturer for TELEFUNKEN, contributing to the TF51's open and smooth sonic profile.

The Alchemy Series offers a variety of distinct voices, including the "Copperhead" sound of the TF29 and TF39, the "German" voiced TF47, and the "Austrian" voiced TF51. These unique sonic characteristics can be compared across various classic studio applications such as drum overheads, guitar cabinets, and vocals.

Every TF51 microphone system comes equipped with a multi-pattern M 901S Power Supply, M 803 Tube Microphone Cable, M 703 Shock Mount, M 782 Stand Mount, and Microphone Sleeve. The M 901S Dual Tube Microphone Power Supply, hand-built in South Windsor, CT, USA, features the traditional styling of vintage Austrian models, coupled with modern component technology and circuit board design. This includes a slow-ramping filament voltage to extend tube life and full regulation to ensure consistent microphone operation.

The M 703 Microphone Elastic Shock Mount is base-threaded and designed specifically for the Alchemy Microphone Series. The M 803 Tube Microphone Cable, compatible with the Alchemy, R-F-T, and ELA M 260 Microphone Series, ensures a secure and high-quality connection for your audio equipment.

The Alchemy Series TF51 Edge Terminated Large-Diaphragm Microphone Stereo Set is a testament to TELEFUNKEN's commitment to superior audio technology, offering a sound experience that is both rich and detailed.
