Telefunken ELA M 260 Cardioid

A true legend
The Ela M260 pencil tube microphone is undoubtedly one of the industry’s finest microphones for acoustic and classical recording. The compact microphone has exceptional detail, clarity and depth that captures every nuance in music and performance.

Developed in the late 1950s for the legendary Ela M251/250 series, the Ela M260 quickly became known as one of the absolute best microphones for classical recordings. The Ela M series was created in collaboration with AKG as a replacement in Telefunken’s range for Neumann-produced models.
The Ela M260 Cardioid comes complete with M960 power supply, M801 tube microphone cable, shock mount and wooden storage case. The Ela M260 is equipped with a NOS EF-732/5840W tube and a custom out-put transformer, which together with the rest of the construction makes this microphone so good-sounding. (The Ela M260 Master Set comes with three capsules, TK60 – cardioid, TK61 – omnidirectional and finally TK-62 super cardioid which gives fantastic flexibility during sessions.)
