Podcastage | Telefunken TF51 Review / Test (vs. AT2020, NT1, TLM103, U87, U67) @Podcastage | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
Today I review the Telefunken TF51 which is a bright and exciting microphone with a clean mid section and a thicc bottom. This gives a sound that is apparently similar to the ELAM 251. This thing also has one of the lowest self noises I've ever seen on a tube microphone.
