In keeping with the long standing tradition, TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik have given a nod back to 1958 when the U-47 and U-48 were both offered in what was called a "Stereo Set" that featured a sequentially serial numbered pair of U-47 or U-48 microphones with a dual (two microphone capable) power supply, and the "Studio Set", which was a single U-47 that was matched to a U-48.
Each component is matched for sonic characteristics. The M7 capsules are hand selected and tested for consistent behavior in our Connecticut laboratory, along with matched custom BV8 output transformers, VF14K tubes as well as the more mundane resistors and capacitors. Additionally, a special serial number group has been created for the modern version of the "Studio Set" making these a very rare set of birds which are not only unbelievably useful, but also rare and collectible.

The culmination of 18 months of development will hit the street on November 4th, 2010 in San Francisco, CA at the 129th Audio Engineering Society convention!!!
94.88678% finished in August, the CU-29 features a NOS TELEFUNKEN tube, a proprietary amplifier design based around a custom wound output transformer. Listening and application tests show that this little monster is going to sneak up on you with a vengeance!!
September brought one of the two missing development pieces - the finish of the microphone and October brought the final detail - the name!!! The CU-29 is now entirely ready for prime time at the beyond affordable price of $1295 USD [1000€] so give your favorite reseller a call then watch and listen while the "Copperhead" changes your recording life.

San Francisco's AES convention brings another milestone in TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik history!! The development of the M80 Wireless Head. The M80 WH is a somewhat condensed version of the M80 dynamic microphone. It features the same "ultra-thin" diaphragm membrane, head grill, and patent pending output transformer, but instead of plugging into it with an XLR cable, you can screw it to the top of your Shure® or Line 6® wireless microphones!!!
We are currently testing the M80 WH with other wireless manufacturer's transmitters, and should be able to add more names to the list of transmitters that can be used with the M80 WH soon but for right now, we are only sure [no pun intended] about the Shure® & Line 6®. Read More . . .
Who says you can't have too much of a good thing? The AR-70 is our latest stereo creation that couples two AR-51's in one body!! Used by professionals in all of the usual stereo applications from drum overheads to orchestral recording, the AR-70 offers phase coherence at an absurdly affordable price without sacrificing an inch or db of TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik quality!!!
The AR-70 includes one fixed cardioid capsule on the bottom, and on top, a capsule wired for remote multi polar pattern capabilities. This allows the mic to perform multiple stereo recording techniques, as well as a standard single channel monophonic recording. In stereo mode the AR-70 can be set up in standard X/Y configuration, with each capsule orientated 90 degrees away from each other, resulting in a perfectly co-incidental pair. Read More . . .
