The Telefunken Elektroakustik TF29 Copperhead is an original TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik design that has garnered fans for its natural and non-hyped tonality and unparalleled “quality for price”. It’s a workhorse microphone with a reputation of outstanding sonic performance and value, capable of accurately and honestly capturing vocals, guitars, drums, and nearly any other source put in front of it. The Cardioid-only TF29 Copperhead is easily distinguishable from the TF39 by the addition of the Cardioid symbol on the front of the microphone.
Designed, hand-built, and tested to strict quality standards in Connecticut, USA, the Alchemy Series is TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik’s next generation of large diaphragm tube condensers. These new microphone models feature unique sonic profiles developed from the ground up. The bold new voicings of the Alchemy Series are the TF29, TF39, TF47, and TF51.
With the combination of vintage microphone elements and modern fidelity and reliability, the Alchemy Series delivers microphones each with a distinctively original sonic fingerprint. The Alchemy Series is an evolution and refinement to past models in the R-F-T Series (CU-29 Copperhead, AR-51, and AK-47 MkII), benefitting from over a decade of in-house microphone design and production.
TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik has implemented numerous improvements sonically and mechanically to the Alchemy Series, tailored all the way down to the accessories. Boasting newly designed custom headgrilles for transparency and openness, hand-plugged circuit boards, and selected American and European vacuum tubes and transformers, no detail was left unaddressed. All systems ship in a sleek, compact, protective case for easy transport and storage. Included are two modern mount options, microphone dust cover, high-flex 7-meter cable, and an American-assembled power supply.
Like all TELEFUNKEN microphones, the Alchemy Series is assembled in the same American facility as the legendary Diamond Series (ELA M 251E, C12 and U47) by a small, dedicated team of engineers and technicians. Each microphone is individually tested and listened to. All critical components are quality controlled in-house before assembly, including capsule frequency sweeps, vacuum tube burn-in and noise grading. These high standards lead to extremely tight tolerances from microphone to microphone - something few in the industry can claim.
The ideal choice for discerning engineers, musicians, and producers. The Alchemy Series combines timeless sound quality with TELEFUNKEN reliability in an affordable package. Whether it’s the home studio or a commercial facility, the Alchemy Series is suited for any recording environment.
A robust and fantastic sounding mic! Perhaps one of the best out there for recording Americana vocals. And it’s heavy, so it must be expensive… NOT!
I’ve wanted this mic for years. Now that I have it I’m not disappointed! The copperhead captures the detail of vocals and I find I hardly have to EQ (Aside from some room corrections). Cant go wrong with Telefunken! Pull the trigger. You wont regret It!
I was lucky enough to have the Telefunken rep (a good friend) sell me his demo unit a couple of years ago and this mic has ended up my go-to mic. It's kind of amazing how similar it sounds to the U87, given the tube aspect...but to me, it's so very close that I could hardly tell them apart. This allowed me to sell one of my U87s and allocate some funds to other needs/wants. Anyway, great mic...seriously under rated and should be much more popular.
The best gear advice always comes from those who use it the most. That's where you come in!
