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. Custom American-Made TransformerThe 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.CapsulesThe 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.Amplifier BodyThe 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.Accessories The M62 FET Hypercardioid system ships complete with an SGMC-5R 5-meter XLR cable with right angle female connector, M761 elastic shock mount, and a foam windscreen, all packed in an FC61 zipper carrying case.Features:Amplifier produces an exceptional transient response and SPL handling capabilitiesCustom American-made transformerTK62 features a 6-micron gold-sputtered membrane measuring 15 mm in diameterDurable, lightly tex
