Telefunken TF47

A modern classic
The Telefunken TF47 is a fantastic high-end tube microphone designed as a combination of the legendary M49 and U47 / 48 microphones. The result is a microphone that gives a superior detail and fullness to the sound combined with the well-known "delicacy" that only Telefunken has. Telefunken is well known for the re-creation of the legendary microphones found in the company's Diamond series, and the design philosophy has been followed by the more affordable TF series of microphones, and uses some of the same parts as those found in the large models. TF47 has bla. same BV8 transformer as U47 / 48 and NOS 5840W pipes.

The TF47 character has made it known and loved in both large and small studios around the world, and fits perfectly with modern production where the same with a good preamp suits both vocals and instrument recordings.
