TF47 Overview

  Telefunken TF47 Stereo Set Front view

A Classic German Voice Now in Stereo

The Telefunken TF47 Matched Pair brings the legendary “German” tube mic character into stunning stereo detail. Modeled after icons like the U47 and M49, this pair delivers a warm, weighty tone with a forward midrange and gently lifted highs—making vocals, strings, and low-end instruments sound rich, bold, and effortlessly musical. Whether you’re tracking a soulful vocal duet, stereo room ambience, or the front of a full kit, the TF47 matched pair ensures a cohesive stereo image with vintage warmth and modern clarity. Individually tested and tuned within ±1 dB across 20 Hz to 20 kHz, this pair is perfectly suited for professional stereo techniques like X/Y, ORTF, spaced pair, and mid-side. Each mic features true multi-pattern flexibility, allowing you to adapt quickly to any source or room configuration.

Precision-Matched for Balanced Stereo Sound

Great stereo recording requires more than just two mics—it demands meticulous matching. The TF47 matched pair undergoes extensive measurement and calibration to ensure consistent gain, frequency response, and phase coherence across both units. The result is a stereo set that excels in capturing spacious, three-dimensional recordings with natural width and depth. Whether you're recording a jazz piano in a live room or layering dual vocals in a modern pop session, this pair ensures the two sides of your stereo image are in perfect harmony.

The Signature TF47 Sound: Bold, Rich, and Musical

At the heart of each TF47 tube microphone is a K47-style center-terminated capsule—a modern recreation of the classic U47 diaphragm. This capsule is powered by a NOS 5840W vacuum tube and Telefunken’s custom BV8 output transformer, mirroring the circuit topology of the original German greats. The sonic result is unmistakable: A deep, focused low end that adds weight without clouding the mix A forward, present midrange that brings vocals and instruments to the front A softly elevated top end that adds air without exaggeration or harshness This character makes the TF47 ideal for a wide range of modern and vintage-inspired genres—from hip-hop and soul to orchestral scoring.
