{"product_id":"telefunken-elektroakustik-r-f-t-cu-29-copperhead","title":"Telefunken Elektroakustik CU-29 Copperhead with Flight Case","description":"The R-F-T line of tube condenser microphones utilizes American designed\r\nelectronics in conjunction with New Old Stock tubes and standardized\r\nparts from overseas manufacturers. While we have not \"cut any corners,\"\r\nwe have been able to provide a lower cost alternative to more expensive\r\nmicrophone systems, without sacrificing the qualities that you would\r\nexpect from a Telefunken Elektroakustik microphone.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith the \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTelefunken CU-29 \"Copperhead\"\u003c\/span\u003e\r\nwe went even further to ensure quality while working toward the goal of\r\nproviding Telefunken Elektroakustik craftsmanship that just about\r\neveryone can afford.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nNo detail was left unattended. Specific attention was given to circuit\r\nboard layout, with countless revisions done to optimize current flow and\r\ndirectness of traces. Each component was experimented with and\r\nindividually selected for the best sonic and electronic qualities.\r\nLastly, careful attention was put on keeping high impedance lines as\r\nshort as possible to maximize efficiency and minimize unwanted noise.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe amplifier found in the R-F-T CU-29 \"Copperhead\" features a new\r\nproprietary circuit designed around a NOS Telefunken tube and a custom\r\noutput transformer. Being a \"cardioid only\" microphone, the CU-29\r\n\"Copperhead\" employs a single-membrane version of the large diaphragm\r\ncapsule used in the AR-51 and AK-47 MkII microphones, which undergoes\r\nrigorous testing in our laboratory prior to installation. Further\r\nquality control is ensured again during final testing and burn-in of the\r\nmicrophone, all to give you the ease of many trouble free years of use\r\nwith your R-F-T microphones.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSonically, the CU-29 \"Copperhead\" is a remarkably hi-fidelity microphone\r\nwith a \"present\" but not \"harsh\" character, with clarity and detail,\r\nbut entirely devoid of the \"bite\" usually found in microphones in this\r\nprice range.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe microphone provides a solid and clear low end, without the upper\r\nmid-range frequency bump often found in microphones in this price range.\r\nInstead, it has a delicate and intimate \"air\" that is usually found\r\nonly in microphones many times the price, and because it is not a\r\n\"recreation\" (or even a variation on a theme) the end result is a\r\ndetailed yet unique tone, with character and its own sonic texture.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe CU-29 \"Copperhead\" delivers top shelf Telefunken Elektroakustik\r\nquality at a price nearly any dedicated engineer, musician, or\r\nenthusiast can afford.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Condenser pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapsule: Single-sided gold sputtered membrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 14 MV\/Pa = -37 dB (0 dB = 1 v\/Pa) -10 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 200 ohms stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPL: 138 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon Linear Distortion: Less than or equal to 0.5% at 100 dyne \/ cm sq\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise: 16 dB (a-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube Type: Telefunken new old stock EF-95\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: Dedicated power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 24.7 oz (690 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtras: Modern power supply, shockmount, wooden box, 7-pin microphone cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Telefunken Elektroakustik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449343930471,"sku":"16358","price":1395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/telefunken-elektroakustik-cu-29-copperhead_16358_1.jpg?v=1787088635","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/telefunken-elektroakustik-r-f-t-cu-29-copperhead","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
