Give your acoustic instruments the sound they deserve with the Telefunken TF11 FET, an Alchemy Series large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to give you an open, airy sound while handling high SPLs up to 135 dB free of distortion. Suitable for project studios, commercial facilities, and the stage, this cardioid microphone delivers a sound similar to the world-renowned C12 along with ultralow-noise performance of just 4 dBA.
The mic utilizes circuitry that promises an open, detailed, and dimensional sound across its frequency range. The TF11 FET shares components in common with other Telefunken Elektroakustik designs, such as its single-membraned, CK12-style, edge-terminated capsule. The built-in amplifier comprises a proprietary take on a FET mic amplifier similar to the M60. This is coupled with a custom, large-format, nickel-iron core transformer fashioned by OEP/Carnhill, a renowned manufacturer. The mic also makes use of premium film capacitors and Nichicon Fine Gold electrolytic capacitors, contributing to its quiet, yet characterful sonic pickup.
