The impressive Telefunken USA ELA M 260 Tube pencil microphone delivers dazzling sounding results on this excellent acoustic guitar demo. The microphone exhibits impressive detail while also providing extreme musicality and warmth. The Telefunken M260 Small diaphragm tube microphone is remarkably well built, gorgeous looking, and delivered in a well-equipped setup. The setup includes a very nice flight case with power supply, cable, shock mount, and three capsules (omni, cardioid, and hypercardioid). We had sensational results in our recording studio with both the cardioid and omni capsules, and demonstrate the extreme ease of switching from one to the other.

The all-mahogany Santa Cruz 1929 is a gorgeous and refined instrument capable of providing some really magical tones. Mahogany kind of gets an unfair bad rap as a tonewood (and doesn't command/fetch the same kind of prices typically, either), and that's why ingenious luthier Richard Hoover decided that he would take the challenge of attempting a world-class master-guitar out of all-mahogany, and prove to the world how fine this beautiful looking species can perform as a tonewood at the top of its class. The look, feel, and sound of this instrument speaks for itself, it is truly fabulous. Call us here at Sound Pure anytime to discuss this fine guitar or the rest of the Santa Cruz product line. We can be reached by phone toll free at 888-528-9703.

From TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik

The small diaphragm ELA M 260 has become a staple for use in a multitude of recording applications due to its natural presence and high level of detail and clarity, especially in acoustic and classical applications. Keeping this in mind, TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik is now offering the ELA M 260 Stereo Set.

The matched Stereo Set comes in a custom zipper flight case that carries both M801 cables, M761 shock mounts, microphones, wooden boxes, and an American-made dual-channel M902S power supply unit. The ELA M 260 Stereo Set also features two sets of 3 interchangeable capsules: the TK60 cardioid, TK61 omni, and TK62 hypercardioid, so the user can have the flexibility to record their source material in any way they wish. The microphones will also feature the same flint gray finish made popular by the R-F-T AR-51, so you will be able to know in an instant, which microphones are from your Stereo Set, and which are your individual ELA M 260 systems.

The ELA M 260 features an amplifier circuit based around a New Old Stock (NOS) EF-732 / 5840W vacuum tube and a custom output transformer that is wound to exacting specification in the United States. Each of these components is rigorously tested in our laboratory prior to installation, and hand-selected for matched pairs. The capsules have matched frequency responses, the tubes have matched gain and noise specs, and the amplifier circuits have matched gain and frequency response.

Stereo recording techniques include X/Y coincidental pairs with the microphones in cardioid, and A/B spaced pairs with either cardioid or omni-directional patterns. Using these techniques, or others, in conjunction with a pair of ELA M 260's will result in an ideal recording set up for string sections, acoustic guitar, drum overheads, or as room microphones.

The ELA M 260 Stereo Set offers the user the knowledge and comfort that the tools they are using will give identical responses for their most important stereo recording.
