Telefunken ELA M 260 small-diaphragm tube condenser microphone Condition: New-Open Box with Mogami Gold Cable

Updated circuit design for impeccable sonics

When Telefunken introduced their reissue of the ELA M 260 tube microphone, modern manufacturing standards compelled them to blend historical accuracy with an updated circuit design — and the results were stunning! A premium new-old-stock EF-732 vacuum tube gives the ELA M 260 all the warmth and air that put the original model on the map. At the same time, a custom-wound output transformer supplies your ELA M 260 with the kind of clarity and headroom you seldom get with a vintage-style microphone.

Three interchangeable capsules deliver infinite recording possibilities

When you pick up a Telefunken ELA M 260 tube mic, it’s like you’re getting three high-end condenser microphones for the price of one. That’s because Telefunken ships each ELA M 260 off with three interchangeable capsules, the classic TK60 cardioid capsule, the wide-open TK61 omnidirectional capsule, and the tightly focused TK62 hypercardioid capsule. Each of these bayonet-mount small-diaphragm capsules gives the ELA M 260 a slightly different tonal quality in addition to its pickup characteristics, making it more versatile than you’d ever imagine.

Bundled with a complete set of high-quality accessories

No cardboard boxes or vinyl sleeves here! Telefunken ships the ELA M 260 with a full set of accessories worthy of this iconic condenser mic. In addition to its dedicated power supply and specialty cable, your ELA M 260 comes bundled with a robust shock mount and cradled in an elegant wooden microphone box. Our engineers know that serious studios need at least one pair of excellent small-diaphragm condenser mics, which is why the Telefunken ELA M 260 is standard equipment in Sweetwater Studios. Given its sonic excellence, immense versatility, and budget-friendly price tag, the ELA M 260 is also an incredible value. Highly recommended!
