Telefunken Elektroakustik is introducing at Summer NAMM in Nashville (booth 213) the ELA M 260 Tube Microphone Stereo Set, which comes complete with three capsules for each microphone, plus one dual power supply and flight case.
The Stereo Set was first introduced in 1958 by Gotham Audio as a package for the Neumann U-47 and U-48 microphones that were distributed in the United States. Telefunken liked the idea, so 53 years later, the concept is reborn.
Each microphone in the Stereo Set features three capsules (260 cardioid, 261 omni-directional, and 262 hyper-cardioid), and the new M 960S provides power to both microphones from a single power supply.
Also included are two 25-foot Gotham Audio GAC7 tube microphone cables with right angle XLR connectors, two wooden microphone jewel boxes, two shockmounts, and a flight case for safe transit.
The microphones also feature NOS Telefunken EF732 vacuums tubes, custom audio transformers, and come in the same “flint gray” finish made popular by the R-F-T AR-51.
Also being introduced at NAMM is the ELA M 260 Stereo Field Recording Set with interchangeable capsules, Novuscell 20-hour rechargeable battery pack, charger, and accessories.
For those who prefer the Decca Tree style of recording for film and classical music, Telefunken is also introducing a three ELA M 260 Tri-Mono Recording Set with three-channel, 2RU rack mounted power supply, and three interchangeable capsules for each microphone.
