The TF51 is a new interpretation of the "Austrian" microphone sound of the Telefunken ELA M 251E and C12. The TF51 continues this legacy with a soft midrange and an airy top-end that captures every nuance. This makes the TF 51 a reliable first choice for excellent vocals, acoustic instruments and percussions.
circuit design
This fidelity is achieved with high-quality components such as the 6072A vacuum tube (also found in our ELA M 251E and C12). The output transformer is a special, tailor-made Haufe-transformer from German production. The combination of the components coupled with great attention to detail gives the TF51 a beautifully open and smooth sound profile.
accessories
Each TF51 microphone system comes with a Multi-Pattern M 903 power supply, M 803 tube microphone cable, ZC03-case, M 703 microphone spider, M 782 tripod mount and microphone case.
