Product Description

TELEFUNKEN ELEKTROAKUSTIK TF47 CONDENSER MICROPHONE

The Telefunken Elektroakustik 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.

At the heart of the TF47 is an all-brass K47-style capsule, new old stock 5840W vacuum tube, and custom-made historically accurate BV8 transformer (as found in the U47). These components deliver a warm and punchy sound reminiscent of the U47 with a pleasant top end articulation that sits perfect in a mix.

Every TF47 microphone system comes with a multi pattern M 903 Power Supply, M 803 Tube Microphone Cable, ZC03 Shell Case, M 703 Shock Mount, M 782 Stand Mount, and Microphone Sleeve.

APPLICATIONS:

  • R&B, rap or aggressive vocals, female soul vocals
  • Upright bass
  • Toms and kick out
  • Trombone
  • Cello
  • Percussion

EMPIRICAL LABS EL-9 MIKE-E CHANNEL STRIP

In today’s modern age of digital recorders, DAWs and software plug-ins, The Empirical Labs EL-9 Mike-E is the ultimate solution for getting a clean and strong, yet warm and musical signal into the box… and it couldn’t be easier to work – its front panel layout is so straight ahead that even inexperienced engineers will have no problem moving around on it right away.

When the engineering team at Empirical Labs sets out to build a microphone preamp, you can be sure it’ll deliver spectacular sound, be effortless to work, and will provide features unlike any other device in its class. To that end, Empirical Labs proudly present Mike-E, a high performance transformer-coupled mic preamp with a noise floor far below any microphone’s self noise, combined with a one-of-a-kind compressor/saturator circuit that delivers classic knee compression as well as versatile tonal ‘coloring’ that can replicate many of the best characteristics of vintage analog recording equipment.

  • High-frequency emphasis system softens high-frequency pile-ups adding color enhancement
  • Blend Compressed/Saturated signal with the unprocessed dry signal
  • Frequency Response: 3 Hz – 200 kHz on (CompSat out); 3 Hz – 150 kHz (CompSat in)
  • Signal to Noise: 130 dB (40 dB gain)
  • Maximum output: +28 dBu
  • Distortion: 0.0006% – 15%
