Description

The Telefunken M61 FET Omni Small Diaphragm Microphone is a premium solid-state condenser microphone designed for precise, transparent audio capture. Built around the TK61 omnidirectional capsule, this microphone delivers exceptional clarity and detail, making it ideal for recording percussive instruments, acoustic guitars, cymbals, and other nuanced sources. With a 6 micron gold-sputtered diaphragm and a 15mm diameter, the M61 FET Omni offers accurate transient response and a rich low-end, ensuring every subtlety of your performance is captured.

Featuring a flat frequency response from 20Hz to 50kHz with a gentle air presence peak at 8kHz, the M61 FET brings out airy high frequencies without harshness. Its proprietary Class A discrete FET circuitry, coupled with hand-selected components on a gold-plated circuit board, provides ultra-clean sound with extremely low self-noise and a THD+N below 0.015%. The custom American-made transformer ensures optimal output matching, making this microphone perfect for critical recording situations. Supplied with a shockmount and XLR cable, the M61 FET Omni is ready to deliver professional-grade results straight out of the box.

Telefunken

Telefunken is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by M61, M80-SH, DD5 and M82 microphones. The listed range is relevant to live, broadcast and instrument microphone choices. When comparing these products, check capsule type, pattern, source, proximity response, maximum level, mounting and the required preamp gain. The catalogue spans several close-mic roles, making the exact model and placement more important than a single brand-wide sound claim. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Microphones

Microphones convert acoustic sound into an electrical signal for recording, live sound, broadcast, streaming or measurement. This broad category includes dynamic, condenser, ribbon, USB, wireless, boundary, shotgun and instrument-focused designs, each balancing sensitivity, detail, rejection and handling. Compare the source, room, pickup pattern, maximum level, connector, phantom or battery requirements and mounting options before choosing. The most useful microphone is the one that fits the voice or instrument, working distance and signal chain; a prestigious brand or familiar category label cannot replace those practical checks.

Microphone

Microphone identifies a product whose primary role is acoustic capture. Compare capsule type, pickup pattern, output, power, mounting and the source or room it will serve.

Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional describes pickup from all directions, useful for some lavalier, measurement, room and boundary applications. Placement, nearby noise and reflections still shape the recording.
