Dual Microphone Powering
The custom dual power supply in the Telefunken U48 Stereo Set allows simultaneous operation of both tube condenser microphones, ensuring consistent performance and ease of setup.
The Telefunken U48 Stereo Set pairs two matched U48 tube condenser microphone and includes a custom designed dual power supply that is capable of powering both microphones simultaneously.
The Telefunken U48 is a faithful and meticulous recreation of the original U48, itself a variant on the iconic U47 but replacing the omni polar pattern with a bi-directional or figure-of-eight.
As such the construction is the same as the U47 in every respect including the original M7 capsule and Telefunken-designed VF-14K valve and BV8 output transformer.
Favoured over the U47 by Sir George Martin during the recording of many Beatles album, the U48 has a strong authoritative mid-range and extended low frequency response which naturally adds gravitas and presence to vocals or acoustic instruments.
