South Windsor, CT, August 2009 — TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik, industry leader in the meticulous reproduction of the masterpiece microphones of the past and the introduction of new classics, has been nominated in both categories of this years Technical Excellence and Creativity (TEC) Awards.
TELEFUNKEN M80
For stage and studio use, the M80 dynamic cardioid mic offers exceptional performance in a rugged package with superior feedback rejection, detailed/balanced frequency response, a smooth present sound with reduced proximity effect. Excellent for vocals, electric guitars, drums, etc., the M80 sets a new standard for live performance microphones.
TELEFUNKEN U-48
Originally designed in 1958, the TELEFUNKEN U-48 is a faithful recreation of the microphone that recorded the majority of the Beatles vocals at Abbey Road Studios. Featuring a TELEFUNKEN VF-14k tube and faithful recreation of the original M-7 capsule the U-48 sounds like no other microphone in it's class.

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.
