Description
The Telefunken M60 is a re-interpretation of the classic phantom-powered pencil mic, featuring exceptional transient response and high SPL handling capabilities. Paired with its impressive clarity and subtle tonality, the M60 excels at capturing acoustic and percussive instruments both in the studio and on the stage. The M60 is hand-assembled in America using premium components and utilizes an ultra-clean, true class-A discrete circuit paired with an American-made transformer. Its unique circuit topology captures a wide frequency range, which means life-like capturing of most sources.

Capsule Specifications
TK6x Series interchangeable capsules feature a 15 mm diameter, 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane. They are designed to easily thread on and off the amplifier body. All TK6x Series capsules are held to a strict ± 1 dB sensitivity tolerance and individually tested and matched by frequency response in TELEFUNKEN’s American facility.
TK60 Cardioid: Flat from 150 Hz to 7 kHz with a presence peak at 8 kHz, ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and other acoustic instruments.
TK61 Omnidirectional: Flat from 20 Hz to 5 kHz with a presence peak at 8 kHz. Use with SD40 diffuse field spheres to make the upper midrange frequencies more directional.
TK62 Hypercardioid: Flat from 150 Hz to 3 kHz with a dip at 6 kHz and a presence peak at 8 kHz, excellent for cymbals, percussion, and as a stereo pair for live performance recording.
