Details
Controls: 3-pattern selector (cardioid/omni/fig-8) on power supply
I/O: 3-pin XLR output; multipin tube cable to external power supply
Notable use: Alchemy Series - voicing reminiscent of the U47/M49 ("warm and punchy"); NOS Philips/Raytheon 5840W tube; vocals, piano, drums
Notes: FLAG: Site markets the TF47 as evoking the U47/M49 sound but it is a distinct Alchemy Series model, not a literal M49 reissue - Telefunken currently has no standalone M49 or AK-47 MkII product on its shop. 710g, 200mm L x 46mm dia.
