Telefunken TF51 Large Diaphragm Multi Pattern Microphone - Silver

The TF51 from TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is a refined modern interpretation of the iconic “Austrian” microphone sound made famous by the legendary ELA M 251E and C12. Carrying forward this prestigious heritage, the TF51 delivers a smooth, natural midrange, an airy, open top end, and an uncanny ability to capture every nuance with lifelike detail.

Perfect as a first-choice microphone for standout vocals, delicate acoustic instruments, and crisp percussion, the TF51 offers a sonic character that’s both timeless and inspiring. Its design incorporates a CK12-style edge-terminated capsule, a premium 6072A vacuum tube, and a custom-made German Haufe transformer — the same elements that gave the 251E and C12 their unmistakable charm.

The result is a beautifully balanced, open, and silky sound profile with exceptional articulation — a microphone that not only records audio but preserves emotion and presence.
