Telefunken M60 Master Set

Versatile Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Any Application
The Telefunken M60 Master Set is an all-inclusive small diaphragm condenser microphone package designed for professional recording applications. Featuring the M60 FET amplifier and three interchangeable capsules—TK60 cardioid, TK61 omnidirectional, and TK62 hypercardioid—this set delivers a comprehensive solution for capturing a wide range of instruments and environments with precision and clarity. Whether recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestral ensembles, or live performances, the M60 Master Set offers flexibility and uncompromising sound quality.

Precision-Matched Capsules for Accurate Sound Reproduction
Each of the three included TK6x-series capsules is measured within a strict 1dB sensitivity tolerance, ensuring consistent and reliable performance. The TK60 cardioid capsule delivers a flat frequency response from 150 Hz to 7 kHz, with a smooth presence boost at 8 kHz. This makes it ideal for capturing drum overheads, hi-hats, ride cymbals, piano, and acoustic guitar with a natural yet detailed sound. The TK61 omnidirectional capsule provides a large, open sound with a balanced response from 20 Hz to 5 kHz, allowing for room and ambient mic applications that accurately capture the full acoustic environment.

Hypercardioid Capsule for Focused and Detailed Recordings
The TK62 hypercardioid capsule offers a tightened and highly focused polar pattern, making it perfect for isolating specific sound sources while reducing off-axis bleed. With a frequency response that remains flat from 150 Hz to 3 kHz, a subtle dip at 6 kHz, and an airy boost at 8 kHz, the TK62 excels when used on cymbals, percussion, and stereo pair setups for live performance recordings. Its precision-engineered design allows for clear, well-defined recordings, making it a go-to choice for capturing transient-rich sources with accuracy.

Premium Class A Discrete Circuitry for Unparalleled Clarity
At the core of the M60 Master Set is Telefunken’s proprietary Class A discrete amplifier circuit, which delivers exceptional transient response and high SPL handling capabilities. Hand-selected components are placed into gold-plated circuit board traces to ensure an ultra-clean signal path. The microphone’s frequency response of +/- 2dB from 20 Hz to 50 kHz ensures superior sonic fidelity across a broad range of frequencies, while the custom American-made transformer minimizes distortion with a typical THD+N of 0.015% or better. These characteristics make the M60 FET amplifier ideal for critical studio applications where detail and nuance matter.

Fast Transient Response for Precise and Lifelike Recordings
The M60 FET’s incredibly fast transient response allows it to capture the intricate details of percussive and stringed instruments with exceptional accuracy. Its ability to reproduce the nuances and dynamics of a performance ensures a detailed and three-dimensional sonic image. Whether used in orchestral settings, drum recording, or acoustic instrument tracking, the M60 Master Set delivers a natural, transparent sound with impressive articulation and depth.

Rugged Design with a Professional Finish
Built for durability, the M60 FET amplifier body features a lightly textured black powder coat finish, complete with Telefunken’s historic diamond badge. The microphone’s XLR connector shell is finished with a matte black nickel-plated design, engraved with the model and serial number for authenticity. Each TK6x capsule is housed in a bright nickel-plated enclosure with a fine gold mesh pattern, ensuring both durability and a classic aesthetic that complements the microphone’s superior sonic performance.
