New TELEFUNKEN M60 FET Small-Diaphragm Microphone Making Debut At 2015 NAMM

Marks company's first non-vacuum tube, FET-based solid-state condenser microphone

Exhibited for the first time at Winter NAMM, the newly designed M60 FET (Field Effect Transistor) small-diaphragm microphone is TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik’s first non-vacuum tube, FET-based solid-state condenser microphone. (NAMM hall E, booth 1878 and hall A, booth 6721.)

Utilizing a unique proprietary circuit topology, this re-interpretation of the classic FET mic amplifier produces an exceptional transient response and SPL handling capabilities. Carefully selected and tested components are hand-plugged into gold-plated circuit board traces to provide a clean, true Class A discrete amplifier with a frequency response of +/- 2 dB from 20 Hz to 50 kHz.

The output is matched with a custom American-made transformer that offers an especially low self-noise and a typical THD+N of 0.015 percent or better, making it a good choice for critical recording applications.

Designed to utilize the same interchangeable TK6X capsule systems as the TEC Award-winning ELA M 260 small diaphragm tube microphone, the M60 FET is also a tool for both acoustic and percussive sources. The TK60 cardioid, TK61 omnidirectional and the TK62 hypercardioid capsules are offered individually or in complete sets, as well as matched pairs of M60 FET amplifiers and capsule sets for stereo recording capabilities.

The M60 FET is now shipping.
