South Windsor, CT, February, 2010 — International superstar Michael Buble surprised listeners of Hartford, CT's 96.5 fm WTIC radio when he broadcast a secret show from the studios of microphone manufacturer TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik. WTIC and TELEFUNKEN co-sponsored the intimate performance, which featured stand-up bass, drums, acoustic guitar and Buble, using new microphones from the company known for mics designed in the tradition of the classic mics of the past.

The Buble show is one in a series of shows recently produced by the TELEFUNKEN staff in the company's 8000 sq.ft. manufacturing center, which includes a 2500 sq.ft. soundstage that also serves as a multi-use recording studio and production lab for its extensive microphone line.

"We want the global music community to know that our lab is not only capable of designing and manufacturing top quality vacuum tube microphones," said Alan Veniskofsky, Director of Operations, "we've now expanded our facility to include a soundstage/recording studio environment capable of hosting performances and sessions with World Class recording artists."

Canadian-born Michael Buble has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and has won numerous awards, including two Grammys and multiple Canadian Juno Awards. His debut album was a Top Ten hit in numerous countries, followed in 2005 by the success of "It's Time" and in 2007 with "Call Me Irresponsible," which was #1 in Canada, as well as a top hit in the Billboard and European charts.

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.
