Telefunken Microphones, Preamps and Tubes

The Telefunken brand has been an iconic symbol in all things electronics since the dawn of the 20th century, but in regard to music and studio gear it was their microphones and processors that truly helped shape the sound of recorded music from the earliest shellac records to modern day high-res streams. The legendary Telefunken ELA M 251E microphone has been the most desirable and value condenser microphone for decades, used on lead vocals and instruments on countless major releases. The V72 and V76 tube preamp modules were a major component in the sound of The Beatles. Today, the Telefunken Elektroakustik name and legacy lives on in South Windsor, CT by a dedicated team of engineers and technicians churning out replicas and recreations of the classic microphones as well as new, exciting designs inspired by the old world.
