Telefunken USA Ela M 260

Description

Telefunken USA’s Ela M 260 is a small-diaphragm tube condenser that ships with three detachable capsules (omni, cardioid, hypercardioid) and is compatible with dozens more capsules made by other vendors (see list below).

This mic is not a historical reproduction of the vintage Telefunken of the same name. The original Ela M 260 was manufactured by AKG for Telefunken, and used a Telefunken AC701 tube and AKG’s CK28 capsule.


The mic ships in a padded wooden box, and includes a dedicated power supply and Gotham Audio cable, a mic clip, a shock mount, Telefunken USA’s three stock capsules, the adapter for AKG/BLUE/JZ capsules, an owner?s manual, and a fully transferable 10-year warranty.
