Telefunken ELA M 260 Cardioid Set Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Tube Condenser Microphone

Engineered for accurate reproduction of acoustic instruments and vocals with pristine detail and warmth, the Telefunken ELA M 260 Cardioid Set is a single small-diaphragm cardioid tube condenser microphone inspired by the classic ELA M 260. While Telefunken may not have produced a historic replica of the original ELA M 260 (as in the Diamond series), this version will achieve an equal level of performance and sound made famous by the original. The included TK60 cardioid capsule provides a flat response from 150 Hz to 7 kHz and a presence peak at 8 kHz. Thanks to separately available omnidirectional and hypercardioid capsules, the ELA M 260 offers powerful versatility for pleasing capture of an array of sources in a variety of environments. The mic's circuit design is centered around an NOS 5840W vacuum tube and a custom transformer, giving it a blend of character and accuracy. It includes a dedicated power supply, shockmount, tube mic cable, foam windscreen, and hard-shell carrying case.
