Telefunken TF11 FET Mic Review / Test
Today I review the new mic from Telefunken, and their only large diaphragm FET condenser mic, the TF-11. This mic offers a crisp top end, a neutral mid section, and a slight accentuated low-end. The self noise is ONLY 4dBa, and the mic exhibits outstanding off axis coloration making it great for use in reverberant rooms or when you need a clean recording.
