Telefunken TF39 Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

The TF39 from TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is a true multi-talent, delivering faithful, honest recordings across a wide range of sources — from vocals that need to captivate, to acoustic and electric guitars, rich drum overheads, and even the soulful breath of a saxophone.

At its core, the TF39 is built with world-class components: an American-made 5654W vacuum tube for vintage warmth, a fully brass TK67-style capsule for classic character, and a premium Swedish-made Lundahl output transformer for pristine clarity and depth. Together, they create a beautifully balanced frequency response, combining smooth, natural mids and airy highs with an extended low-end that feels full and powerful without overpowering the mix.

Its three selectable polar patterns — Cardioid, Omni, and Figure-8 — make it adaptable to any recording scenario, whether in the studio or on stage. Every TF39 is meticulously designed and hand-assembled in the USA, ensuring craftsmanship you can hear in every take.
