Telefunken M61-SS
The Telefunken M61-SS is a matched pair of small-diaphragm omnidirectional FET condenser microphones designed to deliver fast transient response and accurate, yet musical frequency reproduction for musicians and recording engineers in home, project, and commercial studios. Ideal for stereo configurations, the M60 FET bodies feature custom-wound transformers, active FET transistors, and Class-A discrete amplifiers. The included TK61 capsules utilize 6-micron, gold-sputtered membranes and exhibit omnidirectional polar patterns.
The M61’s 130 dB maximum SPL, 20 Hz to 31.5 kHz frequency response, low self-noise, and fast transient response make it ideal for critical capture of a wide variety of instruments and room ambience. The supplied shockmounts isolate the microphones from vibrations that would otherwise be transferred through the mic stands. Two windscreens are included for reduction of noise from gusts of air. The M61-SS ships with two XLR cables and a zipper carrying case.
