Telefunken ELA M 260 Cardioid Stereo Set

The Telefunken ELA M 260 Cardioid Stereo Set delivers a factory-matched pair of ELA M 260 tube microphones with TK60 Cardioid capsules, built for stereo acoustic recording where both transient precision and tonal warmth are essential. Each microphone shares the same hand-assembled USA construction, NOS Philips 5840W vacuum tube circuit, and custom American-made Telefunken Elektroakustik T60 output transformer, providing the matched character that consistent stereo imaging requires across XY, ORTF, and spaced pair configurations. The set ships with the M 902S dual-channel power supply, matched cables, elastic shock mounts, and windscreens in a ZC60S zipper case — everything needed for a complete matched stereo rig, in Los Angeles sessions and on location. The ELA M 260 Cardioid Stereo Set is a purpose-built matched system for engineers who want small diaphragm tube performance ready to deploy for acoustic instrument recording.
