Telefunken ELA M 260 Triple Microphone Set

Three-Microphone Stereo and Tri-Mono Recording System for Professional Applications
The Telefunken ELA M 260 Tri-Mono Master Set is a complete three-microphone system designed for stereo and multi-channel recording techniques. This premium set includes three matched small diaphragm vacuum tube microphones, offering exceptional clarity, warmth, and detail. Perfect for orchestral recording, ambient room miking, and Decca Tree configurations, the ELA M 260 Tri-Mono system provides professional-grade sound with the depth and precision of vintage tube microphones.

Ideal for Decca Tree and Tri-Mono Recording Configurations
Designed specifically for stereo and immersive recording techniques, the ELA M 260 Tri-Mono system includes three microphones for capturing a three-dimensional audio image. The Decca Tree technique, used widely in orchestral and film scoring applications, places three omnidirectional microphones in a reverse "T" formation above the conductor. This configuration delivers a spacious, natural stereo image with incredible depth and room presence, making it ideal for classical music, ensemble recordings, and full-band capture.

Three Interchangeable Capsule Options for Maximum Flexibility
This package includes three matched sets of interchangeable capsules, allowing you to tailor your recording setup to different environments. The TK60 Cardioid capsule provides focused directionality for isolating sound sources. The TK61 Omnidirectional capsule captures full room ambiance, making it ideal for orchestral and ensemble recordings. The TK62 Hypercardioid capsule delivers excellent off-axis rejection, reducing unwanted noise in complex multi-mic setups. With these options, the ELA M 260 Tri-Mono Master Set adapts to any recording scenario.

Custom Triple Power Supply for Seamless Operation
The included M 963 three-channel power supply ensures consistent and stable power delivery to all three microphones simultaneously. Designed to maximize performance and tube longevity, this power supply provides a regulated voltage output and a slow-ramping heater circuit, protecting the New Old Stock (NOS) EF-732 vacuum tubes. This reliable system ensures that each microphone maintains optimal clarity, balance, and warmth.

Diffuse Field Adapters for Enhanced Spatial Recording
The ELA M 260 Tri-Mono Master Set includes SD40 Diffuse Field Adapters, which are designed to modify the acoustic properties of the microphone capsules. These adapters help shape the sound capture to better suit distant mic placements and ambient recording scenarios. Whether recording a large orchestra, a drum kit’s room sound, or immersive surround setups, these adapters add versatility to your microphone placement.

Complete Set With Shock Mounts, Cables, and Locking Flight Case
This system includes three M 761 elastic shock mounts for isolation from mechanical vibrations and handling noise. It also features three AccuSound TX-7 10-meter dual-shielded tube microphone cables with right-angle XLR connectors for secure and noise-free connectivity. All components are securely housed in the FC63 locking flight case, ensuring safe transport and storage of this premium microphone system.

A Must-Have for Orchestral, Ensemble, and Studio Recording
The Telefunken ELA M 260 Tri-Mono Master Set offers a level of flexibility, warmth, and precision that makes it a perfect choice for professional engineers and producers.
