Telefunken ELA M 260 Small-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone - Master Stereo Set

One of the few small-diaphragm tube microphones available today, the ELA M 260 stands out as a top choice for capturing acoustic instruments with unparalleled clarity and character. From the delicate resonance of stringed instruments to the dynamic energy of drum overheads, the ELA M 260 delivers the perfect balance of small-diaphragm accuracy and classic tube warmth.

Its tonal richness and detail shine across a wide range of sources—strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion—making it a versatile go-to mic for studio professionals and discerning engineers alike. Every ELA M 260 is hand-built in the USA and available in several configurations: Cardioid only, the Master Set (all capsule options), and Stereo or Tri-Mono (Decca Tree) packages. Each package includes an American-made power supply and matched, thread-on interchangeable capsules, all housed in a premium flight case for secure storage and transport.

• Exceptional blend of tube warmth and small-diaphragm precision

• Interchangeable TK6x Series capsules: Cardioid, Hypercardioid, and Omni polar patterns
