TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik has acquired the last large stock of vintage NOS (New Old Stock) 6072A General Electric tubes, manufactured to strict military/industrial standards, and tested to a higher standard at our Connecticut facility. The 6072A is the premiere tube used in TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's line of new microphones which faithfully recreate the legendary vintage "TELEFUNKEN sound."
"After exhaustive searching we were able to purchase several thousand of the 6072A tubes, of which about 10-15% have noise and microphonic levels that are acceptable for our produts" explained Toni Fishman, CEO of TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik. This tube is the same one which was used by AKG Acoustics GmbH in the 50’s and 60’s and is basically the heart of our new TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik microphones.
The Models employing this tube iare our popular ELA M 251 E, C-12 and our recently introduced R-F-T M-16 mkII. There is a supply of new tubes coming out of Eastern Europe and Asia, but we don't feel they come close to the performance of the vintage 6072A, and they don't last as long either. We are very fortunate to have found this precious stockpile, so that we can continue to build new microphones with that classic TELEFUNKEN sound."
TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is proud to offer these GE JAN 6072a tubes as single, matched pairs and matched quads.
