Telefunken TF11 FET Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone Stereo Set, Pair

Take your audio recording to the next level with the TF11 FET Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone Stereo Set. This innovative product, from the renowned brand Telefunken, is a unique blend of Austrian-inspired voicing, reminiscent of the legendary C12, and modern FET high performance.

The TF11 is a professional-grade, phantom-powered condenser microphone, designed to deliver an open and detailed frequency response. Its exceptionally fast transient response, high SPL handling, and low self-noise make it a reliable choice for all recording environments, from home studios to live stages.

This versatile microphone excels in capturing a variety of sources, including vocals, drum overheads, and acoustic instruments. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures precise sound capture from a specific direction, making it ideal for recording vocals or instruments while minimizing sound from other directions.

Hand-assembled in the USA, the TF11 features a CK12-style edge terminated capsule and premium through-hole components, including a custom UK-made OEP/Carnhill output transformer. This combination of high-quality components ensures a beautifully open and detailed 3D sonic image, with a quick, accurate transient response.

The TF11's full low end, detailed and punchy midrange, and airy top end make it suitable for a wide range of applications. On vocals, it provides transparent, clear, and detailed audio, while on acoustic instruments, it captures string and pick attack in impressive detail. When used on drum overheads, the TF11 delivers a lifelike image and a punchy and focused representation of the kit.

The TF11's high SPL handling widens its scope of possibilities to louder sources not always suitable for condensers, like toms, brass, and guitar amplifiers. Its compact size and lack of external power supply and proprietary cable make it easy to set up, break down, and transport, making it a perfect choice for home recording and touring alike.

The TF11 is a testament to Telefunken's commitment to quality and innovation. It was developed to bring the Alchemy Series' pristine audio quality into a more compact and convenient package, designed for the studio, built for the stage, and priced for everyone. With the TF11, you can expect consistently excellent results, whether you're recording bedroom vocals, live drum overheads, or studio guitar amps.
