Telefunken M82
Telefunken AR-51
The large diaphragm, multi-pattern TELEFUNKEN AR-51 was created to bring the classic circuit of the ELA M 251E and C12 into a new, more affordable microphone. Featuring edge terminated TK51D capsule, a NOS (New Old Stock) ECC81 / 12AT7 vacuum tube and newly manufactured Haufe T14/1 output transformer, the AR-51 captures the same clarity as its predecessors and provides similar sonic characteristics, with its own unique distinctions.
Telefunken U47
Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone with Switchable Cardioid/Omnidirectional Polar Pattern and NG Power Supply Every great singer deserves an amazing microphone, and for more than 60 years the U47 has been that microphone. Its authoritative mid-range and extended low-end response have made the TELEFUNKEN U47 the “go to” standard for any serious recording studio. The TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik recreation of the U47 large diaphragm tube microphone is exact in every detail, down to the historically accurate BV8 output transformer and M7 capsule.
Telefunken CU-29
Developed around the stellar NOS (New Old Stock) 6AK5W vacuum tube, the CU-29 Copperhead was created to provide a versatile and sonically balanced tube microphone. Coupled with a Lundahl LL1935 output transformer, the CU-29 is a large diaphragm fixed cardioid workhorse, accurately recreating practically any sound source with supreme fidelity. Being a cardioid only microphone, the R-F-T CU-29 Copperhead employs a single-membrane version of the TK67 large diaphragm capsule used in the AK-47 MkII microphone, which undergoes rigorous testing in our laboratory prior to installation
Telefunken ELA M 251

Please note that we will continue to produce our most popular flag ship microphone, the ELA M 251E, which features the more common GE JAN 6072a vacuum tube.
Telefunken TF47
Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone with 3 Polar Patterns, Power Supply, Shock Mount, Case, and 7-pin Microphone Cable The TF47 is a new design based on the “German” sound, drawing inspiration from the historic U47 and M49. With a deep low end and a forward midrange, the TF47 is excellent for adding depth and presence to any source. These characteristics make it especially ideal for recording vocals, guitar amps, and drums.
Telefunken TF51
Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone with 3 Polar Patterns, Power Supply, Shock Mount, Case, and 7-pin Microphone Cable The TF51 is a fresh take on the “Austrian” microphone sound associated with the TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251E and C12. The TF51 continues this legacy, exhibiting a smooth midrange and airy top end, capturing every nuance in pleasant detail. This is a reliable first choice for stand out vocals, acoustic instruments, and percussion.
Telefunken TF29
Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Mic with Cardioid Polar Pattern, Power Supply, Shock Mount, Case, and 7-pin Microphone Cable The TF29 Copperhead is an evolution of the CU-29 Copperhead, an original TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik design that garnered fans for its natural and non-hyped tonality and unparalleled “quality for price”. The TF29 continues this reputation of outstanding sonic performance and value. It’s a workhorse microphone, accurately and honestly capturing vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, and nearly any source put in front of it.
