Series Overview Capsule Specications
TK6x Series interchangeable capsules feature a 15 mm diameter, 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane. They
are designed to easily thread on and o the amplier body. All TK6x Series capsules are held to a strict ± 1 dB
sensitivity tolerance and individually tested and matched by frequency response in TELEFUNKEN’s American
facility.
Additional capsules are available for purchase through the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik webstore:

The TELEFUNKEN Small Diaphragm Condenser Series features the vacuum tube-based ELA M 260 and the
phantom-powered M60 FET microphones, both of which accept the thread-on TK6x Series capsules. Both
ampliers have their strengths, be it the ELA M 260’s natural warmth and clarity or the M60’s low self noise
and ultra fast transient response. All assembly and testing of the Small Diaphragm Condenser Series occurs in
TELEFUNKEN’s American facility. Depending on the system conguration, dierent capsule combinations will
be included. Please see the System Specications for more information. Additional capsules and accessories
are available for purchase directly from TELEFUNKEN.
