Series Overview
The TELEFUNKEN Small Diaphragm Condenser Series features the vacuum tube-based ELA M 260 and the
phantom-powered M60 FET microphones, both of which accept the thread-on TK6x Series capsules. Both
amplifiers have their strengths, be it the ELA M 260's natural warmth and clarity or the M60's low self noise
and ultra fast transient response. All assembly and testing of the Small Diaphragm Condenser Series occurs in
TELEFUNKEN's American facility. Depending on the system configuration, different capsule combinations will
be included. Please see the System Specifications for more information. Additional capsules and accessories
are available for purchase directly from TELEFUNKEN.

Capsule Specifications
TK6x Series interchangeable capsules feature a 15 mm diameter, 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane. They
are designed to easily thread on and off the amplifier body. All TK6x Series capsules are held to a strict ± 1 dB
sensitivity tolerance and individually tested and matched by frequency response in TELEFUNKEN's American
facility.
TK60 Cardioid: Flat from 150 Hz to 7 kHz with a presence
peak at 8 kHz, ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitar,
and other acoustic instruments.
TK61 Omnidirectional: Flat from 20 Hz to 5 kHz with
a presence peak at 8 kHz. Use with SD40 diffuse field
spheres to make the upper midrange frequencies more
directional.
TK62 Hypercardioid: Flat from 150 Hz to 3 kHz with a dip
at 6 kHz and a presence peak at 8 kHz, excellent for cym-
bals, percussion, and as a stereo pair for live performance
recording.
