South Windsor, CT, October, 2004 — Telefunken | USA™ is now
offering their flagship microphone, the
Ela
M 251F, winner of the 2003 TEC Award for Studio Microphone
excellence, in a new "no frills" package. The Ela M 251F microphone houses the same meticulously hand-crafted components
and vintage tube, yet is now available without the sumptuous flight
case and the power supply is a modern version of the historical
one.
"After perfecting our reverse engineering technology in the
re-creation of the 251, and with manufacturing breakthroughs we've
achieved in the last six months, we have been able to minimize our
costs considerably and can now pass this savings on to the recording
community," explained Toni Fishman, CEO and company founder.
"You might think of the new package as a coach ticket as compared
with business class, but you still arrive at the same destination."
Since its introduction, Telefunken | USA™'s Ela M 251 has
gained widespread recognition among the recording industry's top
professionals, with microphones now in the hands of many award-winning
producers and engineers, and in use by some of the music world's
most successful artists.
"We are very proud of the hard work and investment we have
made in bringing back the sound of the most sought after microphone
ever built," added Fishman. "There are no compromises
in our workshop."
The Telefunken
| USA™ Ela M 251F is now available for $5,995 MSRP.
ABOUT TELEFUNKEN ELEKTROAKUSTIK
TELEFUNKEN | USA acquired the TELEFUNKEN Trademark for North America in 2001, and in 2009 the company was named the Elektroakustik (translation: Electrical Acoustics) arm of TELEFUNKEN and awarded the exclusive rights to manufacture a wide variety of professional audio products and vacuum tubes bearing the TELEFUNKEN name, in over 27 countries worldwide. Recreating the classic TELEFUNKEN microphones has been a labor of love for the company CEO, Toni Fishman and the pursuit of that dream has culminated in the manufacture of what we at TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik believe are the finest microphones currently available in the world today.
Along with meticulously manufacturing historic replicas of classic microphones by hand in the USA, TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is now marketing the R-F-T series of microphones that take advantage of the globalization of technology, in order to offer recording microphones with professional sonic performance at reasonable prices.
Our latest additions to the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik product line include a revolutionary new capsule design based on Alloy 2213™, an exceptional dynamic microphone [the M80], and a vacuum tube replacement for the original TELEFUNKEN VF14 which offers comparable performance in our U47 and new U48 microphones.
TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik continues to expand, and research and development of new products is an ongoing process. Although based firmly on classic designs, TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is continuously looking forward. Important changes in our company and further expansion of our product line are slated for the immediate future.
