Product Description

TELEFUNKEN ELEKTROAKUSTIK TF29 COPPERHEAD CONDENSER MICROPHONE

The Telefunken Elektroakustik TF29 Copperhead is an evolution of the CU-29 Copperhead, an original Telefunken design that garnered fans for its natural and non-hyped tonality and unparalleled “quality for price”. The TF29 continues this reputation of outstanding sonic performance and value. It’s a workhorse microphone, accurately and honestly capturing vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, and nearly any source put in front of it.

The TF29 features a new old stock American-made 5654W vacuum tube, all-brass K67-style capsule, and a premium Swedish-made Lundahl output transformer. These components create a balanced frequency response and natural tonality, making the TF29 a trusty go-to choice.

Every TF29 Copperhead microphone system comes with a fixed pattern M 902 Power Supply, M 803 Tube Microphone Cable, ZC03 Shell Case, M 703 Shock Mount, M 782 Stand Mount, and Microphone Sleeve.

APPLICATIONS:

  • Natural vocals, bluegrass, folk, and Americana styles
  • Electric guitar
  • Kick out and drum overheads
  • Saxophone
  • Upright piano
  • Banjo

EMPIRICAL LABS EL-9 MIKE-E CHANNEL STRIP

In today’s modern age of digital recorders, DAWs and software plug-ins, The Empirical Labs EL-9 Mike-E is the ultimate solution for getting a clean and strong, yet warm and musical signal into the box… and it couldn’t be easier to work – its front panel layout is so straight ahead that even inexperienced engineers will have no problem moving around on it right away.

When the engineering team at Empirical Labs sets out to build a microphone preamp, you can be sure it’ll deliver spectacular sound, be effortless to work, and will provide features unlike any other device in its class. To that end, Empirical Labs proudly present Mike-E, a high performance transformer-coupled mic preamp with a noise floor far below any microphone’s self noise, combined with a one-of-a-kind compressor/saturator circuit that delivers classic knee compression as well as versatile tonal ‘coloring’ that can replicate many of the best characteristics of vintage analog recording equipment.

  • Microphone preamplifier featuring stepped gain with super low noise
  • High-quality components used throughout
  • High-performance DI for direct-input instruments
  • 80 Hz highpass filter featuring the low-frequency cut of vintage equalizers
  • Polarity switch inverts audio signal 180 degrees
  • CompSat functions as Compressor/Limiter and distinct tape-like saturation circuit
  • High-frequency emphasis system softens high-frequency pile-ups adding color enhancement
  • Blend Compressed/Saturated signal with the unprocessed dry signal
  • Frequency Response: 3 Hz – 200 kHz on (CompSat out); 3 Hz – 150 kHz (CompSat in)
  • Signal to Noise: 130 dB (40 dB gain)
  • Maximum output: +28 dBu
  • Distortion: 0.0006% – 15%
  • Input Impedance: 600 Ohms; Output impedance: <38 Ohms
