The M62 FET Hypercardioid package includes one M60 amplifier paired with a TK62 hypercardioid polar pattern capsule.
The TK62 features a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane measuring 15 mm in diameter, with a surprisingly full low end, and a quick and accurate transient response. The TK62 provides a hypercardioid pattern flat in response from 150 Hz to 3 kHz, with a dip at 6 kHz and a smooth, airy presence peak at 8 kHz.
This tightened polar pattern is great for use on cymbals, percussion, and as a stereo pair for live performance recording.
The M60 FET’s incredibly quick transient response captures nuances and subtleties with impressive precision and clarity. This results in an extremely detailed sonic image with definition and presence, perfectly suited for the complex character of stringed instruments and percussive sources.
Utilizing a unique proprietary circuit topology, this re-interpretation of the classic FET mic amplifier produces an exceptional transient response and SPL handling capabilities. Carefully selected and tested components are hand-plugged into gold-plated circuit board traces to provide an ultra-clean true Class A discrete amplifier with a frequency response of +/- 2dB from 20 Hz to 50 kHz. The output is matched with a custom American-made transformer that offers an especially low self-noise and a typical THD+N of 0.015% or better, making it ideal for critical recording applications.
The M60 FET amplifier body is finished in a durable, lightly textured black powder coat adorned with the historic TELEFUNKEN diamond badge. The microphone’s XLR connector shell complements the look with a matte black nickel plated finish engraved with the model and serial number. The TK6x capsules feature a bright nickel plated enclosure with a fine gold mesh pattern.
The M62 FET Hypercardioid Stereo Set ships complete with two SGMC-5R 5-meter XLR cables with right angle female connector, two M761 elastic shock mounts, two foam windscreens all packed in a ZC62 dual microphone zipper carrying case.
