This gets the biggest change in the Alchemy line.  TFunk is now putting a K47 style capsule in this mic (previously a K67 style), and this will change the overall sound and texture on this microphone.  You'll find more mid-forward as well as more color/gravel with this mic now that they have changed the capsule.  Guitars, vocals and drums are really going to come alive.  While a K47 capsule, this mic isn't bright as other K47 style clones, and will still have a "vintage" warmth to the top end (not pushed)  

The Alchemy Series:

Built side-by-side with "the big boys" (251E, C12, and U47), the Alchemy Series is the next generation of affordable microphones from TELEFUNKEN Elekroakustik. This series directly replaces (and outperforms!) the older and discontinued RFT line. The biggest changes are subtle, but they really add up when talking about overall performance and reliability. Throw in the fact these mics are now shipping with a flight case (previously an add on), and you have a truly exceptional package.

While you can't see it (but you'll hear it!), one of the aspects we are most excited about is that the mics (capsules and electronics), as well as the power supply (internals), are all "stuffed" in-house, in Connecticut. This undoubltely adds a big level of quality control to the microphone set.

The TF47 is a new design based on the “German” sound, drawing inspiration from the historic U47 and M49. With a deep low end and a forward midrange, the TF47 is excellent for adding depth and presence to any source. These characteristics make it especially ideal for recording vocals, guitar amps, and drums.

Circuit Design

At the heart of the TF47 is an all-brass K47-style capsule, new old stock 5840W vacuum tube, and custom-made historically accurate BV8 transformer (as found in the U47). These components deliver a warm and punchy sound reminiscent of the U47 with a pleasant top end articulation that sits perfect in a mix.
