TF11 FET
Blending an Austrian-inspired voicing similar to the legendary C12 with modern FET high performance, the phantom-powered TF11 exhibits a beautifully open and detailed frequency response with exceptionally fast transient response, high SPL handling, and low self-noise. The compact, cardioid only TF11 is versatile, portable, and dependable for all recording environments from home to studio to stage.
Circuit Design
The TF11Ā features a unique combination of circuit elementsĀ shared withĀ other TELEFUNKENĀ ElektroakustikĀ designs. The CK12-style edgeĀ terminatedĀ capsule is a single membrane version of theĀ capsule featured in the TF51.Ā The amplifier is a unique proprietary take on the classic FET microphoneĀ amplifierĀ similar toĀ the M60,Ā coupledĀ withĀ aĀ customĀ large format nickel-iron core transformerĀ made in the UKĀ by OEP/Carnhill.Ā Premium through-hole components include UK-made polystyrene film capacitors,Ā Nichicon Fine Gold electrolytic capacitors, and a high-performance, ultra-low-noise JFET amplifier.Ā
