Combining an iconic mid-forward "German" voicing with modern FET technology, the TF17 is sonically bold with a punchy transient response, high SPL handling, and very low self-noise. It features an extended low frequency response, strong midrange, and a smooth top end. Whether the user is looking to add weight to a source or for a smooth voice to compliment, this microphone's rich character can enhance sound sources including voice, drums, bass, electric guitar, and piano. Designed with all recording environments in mind, the TF17 is perfect for home, studio, or stage.
