The praise and recognition inspired TELEFUNKEN to reissue other key models from the past, like the U47 and C12. The Diamond Series is a reissue line of historically praised TELEFUNKEN microphones built to exact specs. In keeping with the tradition of the ELA-M 251, all parts for the Diamond Series microphones are custom tooled and machined in the USA, largely in Connecticut and other New England states. Every microphone is assembled from the ground up and tested in the TELEFUNKEN lab before leaving to go work in the field.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \u003csection class=\"brand-description__row brand-description__row--reverse\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-media\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/telefunken_bottom_2.jpg?v=1787060053\" alt=\"Telefunken Elektroakustik\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-content\"\u003eThe Alchemy Series combines vintage microphone elements with modern performance.

The system includes a custom designed power supply, the 916 MATRIX, which includes 3 distinct settings: Left\/Right, MATRIX, and Z40. These settings allow the end user to utilize a mixture of microphone techniques and polar patterns.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eL-R mode allows both the UPPER and LOWER capsules to be independently controlled from remote polar pattern selectors on the power supply. The LOWER capsule is fixed in position while the upper capsule is capable of rotating up to 90 degrees. This gives engineers the ability to make use of XY, Mid\/Side, and Blumlein recording techniques. The ability to polarize both the UPPER and LOWER capsule in virtually any pick-up patterns allows for an infinite amount of choices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMATRIX mode is identical to L-R mode, with the addition of two more outputs reversed in phase. This mode allows the same options for remote polar pattern selection (cardioid, omni, figure 8, and everything in between); resulting in an UPPER capsule XLR outputs (in phase \u0026amp; out of phase) as well as the LOWER capsule XLR outputs (in phase \u0026amp; out of phase). Skilled recording engineers can then exploit this multiple output format for the ability to change polar patterns AFTER they have been recorded! For engineers and studios working in the analog domain (no DAWs), this is an incredible feature, making this microphone of on the most versatile stereo tube microphones ever created. This could also be considered a \"live\" Blumlein output mode. Also, it is to be noted that MATRIX mode puts out a signal -6dB lower than standard L-R mode.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eZ40 mode is what makes the M216 Matrix so unique. Specialized custom transformers take the fixed LOWER capsule and blend it with an encoded UPPER capsule resulting in a true encoded Mid\/Side image output. While this mode could be used with any polar pattern pick up configuration, it is best used with the LOWER capsule in cardioid and the UPPER capsule in Figure 8 with the headgrille turned to the 90 degree mark. The custom transformers then duplicate the UPPER figure 8 signal, resulting in one IN phase sent signal to the UPPER XLR OUT (LEFT), and another OUT of phase signal sent to the LOWER XLR OUT (RIGHT). Both of these are then blended evenly with the fixed LOWER capsule aimed at 0 degree to the signal source, then evenly sent to both LEFT (UPPER) and RIGHT (LOWER) outputs. The resulting MS image can then be taken out of the 916 MATRIX psu with the two in phase XLRs, perfectly encoded. There is now no need for post MS encoding in you DAW or Multi-track recorder, the 916 MATRIX power supply did the work for you!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most unique ways to use the R-F-T M216 Matrix is in \"dual mono\" mode, which can lead to all kinds of interesting textures for vocals. By running the outputs into two different microphone pre-amplifiers, the user can now have one capsule set up to sound its best on quiet passages in a vocal and the other for louder passages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the user runs about 10db more gain on the microphone pre-amplifier for the capsule that is set up to record quiet passages, then both outputs can be recorded separately and blended later; or a compression device can be used on the pre-amplifier that is set up for the quieter passages which will net about 12-15db of gain reduction as the singer gets louder. These two outputs can be summed and the resulting signal will maintain a relatively constant level while being automatically combined for optimal capture the performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach R-F-T M216 Matrix microphone is supplied with a custom Gotham Audio Cable, wooden mic box, 916 MATRIX Power Supply with remote polar pattern selector, MATRIX and Z40 Encoder, and when registered, a 4-Year fully transferable Limited Warranty.","brand":"Telefunken Elektroakustik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449235435623,"sku":"13833","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/telefunken_elektroakustik_rft_m216_matrix.jpg?v=1787088251"},{"product_id":"telefunken-usa-u47","title":"TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik TELEFUNKEN U47 Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik TELEFUNKEN U47\u003c\/strong\u003e is a world-renowned tube condenser microphone used on some of the most legendary recordings of the last 75 years.

Looking for a replacement for the large-diaphragm U47 in this market, Telefunken contracted with AKG in 1958 to develop the ELA M 251, using the same elements that made the C12 microphone so desirable: a Haufe T-14\/1 transformer, a 6072 tube and a CK12 capsule.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe letter 'E' was added to models marketed for 'Export', which included a socketed 6072 tube (since it was easier to obtain outside). The non-'E' version of the mic used an AC701K tube, which was designed to work with the electrical standards set for the Austrian and German broadcast systems of the era.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In most respects, (other than wiring for the different tubes), the two 251 models are identical. But neither are identical to the C12, which had a remote pattern selector box, whereas the ELA-M 251 has the selector switch right on the body of the mic, just like the Neumann U47. Also, the CK12 capsule in the C12 mic was wired differently than the ELA-M mic. On the 251 mic, the two halves of the backplate of the CK12 dual-diaphragm were isolated from each other, allowing the electrical switching between three polar patterns, instead of the two found on the C12 microphone.  The additional polar pattern, combined with a different, thicker mesh grill, contributed to the different sonic characteristics of the Telefunken version compared to the original C12.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The ELA-M was also revolutionary in that the components are designed to be dismantled without the use of tools, with the head assembly easily removed from the body, and the electronics housed in a plastic cylinder inside the microphone body. This design allowed the simple swapping out of components should they require replacement.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e First appearing in 1959. the Telefunken ELA-M 251 is a legendary microphone with a sound that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
