Give your acoustic instruments the sound they deserve with the Telefunken TF11 FET, an Alchemy Series large-diaphragm condenser microphone intended to provide an open, airy sound while managing high SPLs of up to 135 dB without distortion. This cardioid microphone, designed for project studios, commercial facilities, and the stage, produces a sound close to the world-renowned C12 while maintaining an ultralow noise level of only 4 dBA.

The mic’s technology ensures an open, detailed, and dimensional sound across its frequency range. The TF11 FET has components in common with other Telefunken Elektroakustik designs, including a single-membrane, CK12-style, edge-terminated capsule. The built-in amplifier is a proprietary version of an M60-style FET mic amplifier. This is paired with a unique, large-format, nickel-iron core transformer created by OEP/Carnhill, a well-known company. The mic also employs superior film capacitors and Nichicon Fine Gold electrolytic capacitors, which contribute to its quiet yet distinctive acoustic pickup.
