Cleveland, OH, June 17, 2007 — Having
been, literally, raised in his father’s
recording studio, multi-platinum award winning
producer/engineer Michael Seifert developed an
appreciation for high-end audio gear at an early
age. More interested in making records than playing
with G.I. Joe’s, Michael never missed an
opportunity to sit in on Bruce’s sessions
(which included work for LeVert, the O’
Jays, Trent Reznor, The Dazz Band, and Neil ZaZa
among others).
Ante Up Audio (Michael’s recording and production
complex located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio) houses
two exquisitely designed studios, both equipped
with a Neve console. A long and ever-growing list
of clients includes Tori Amos, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony,
Francis Ford Coppola, Fountains of Wayne, Chimaira,
Gerald Levert, J. Mascis, Al Fatz, Robert Lockwood
Jr., Chuck Mosley (Faith No More), American Greetings,
MTV, Warner Brothers, Atlantic, Sony, Interscope,
and countless others.
When the Seiferts set out to expand their mic
collection earlier this year, they turned to the
experts at Telefunken | USA. “Telefunken
| USA microphones are a welcome and worthy addition
to our collection,” says Bruce. “I
couldn’t be happier with our Telefunken
mics. They meet and even exceed the sonic quality
and 'vibe' of any vintage tube mic I’ve
ever owned or used… and I don’t have
to sift through a dozen or more 'vintage' mics
to find one that actually sounds like it’s
supposed to!” adds Michael.
Two generations of audio excellence, two incredible
microphones, Telefunken | USA.
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.
