Product Overview

Multi-Pattern Acoustic Flexibility Powered by Pure High-Voltage Tube Engineering

While fixed-pattern microphones excel at direct, upfront tracking, they lack the ability to adapt to complex acoustic environments, room bleed, or creative spatial recording techniques. The Telefunken TF39 Copperhead Deluxe solves this limitation completely. By integrating an externally switched multi-pattern capsule system, this luxury tube microphone grants engineers the freedom to sculpt the acoustic space before the signal ever hits an interface or preamp.

Switch to Cardioid for an intimate, punchy lead vocal; toggle to Omnidirectional to capture the natural, organic bleed of an acoustic guitar ensemble or drum room; or select Figure-8 for face-to-face vocal duets or classic Blumlein and Mid-Side (M/S) stereo configurations. No matter the setting, the TF39 wraps your audio in authentic, high-voltage tube saturation that injects hardware thickness and 3D depth into your digital workspace.

Product Description

Dual-Sided K67 Capsule, NOS Tube, and Lundahl Transformer Core:

The soulful, uncompromised analog character of the TF39 Copperhead Deluxe is built upon a foundation of top-tier hardware componentry. At its acoustic core is a custom-engineered, gold-sputtered, dual-sided K67-style center-terminated capsule. By utilizing dual membranes, the TF39 achieves flawless polar pattern symmetry and linear off-axis frequency tracking.

This premium capsule directly drives an American-made, old-stock General Electric 5654W vacuum tube, a premium valve celebrated for its ultra-low self-noise floor, exceptional stability, and gorgeous harmonic texture. The output stage is anchored by a world-class, custom-spec Lundahl transformer manufactured in Sweden. This high-end component balances the signal flawlessly, adding massive sub-bass authority, iron-fisted transient control, and an expansive 3D depth that digital emulations cannot replicate.

An Ultra-Balanced, Honest Frequency Profile:

The TF39 is voiced by hand to serve as an indispensable, multi-faceted studio workhorse. The low end is thick, extended, and exceptionally tight, holding its composure even when handling massive acoustic waves. The midrange is completely flat, uncolored, and authoritative, giving vocals and speech a highly realistic, chesty warmth that sits perfectly forward in a mix without piling up mud. The high-frequency extension is beautifully smooth and natural, providing just enough open-air shimmer to make instruments breathe without introducing harsh sibilance or brittle transients.

Handcrafted in the USA with Luxury Antique Copper Aesthetics:

Every single TF39 Copperhead Deluxe microphone is meticulously hand-built, individually burned-in, and sonically verified in South Windsor, Connecticut by Telefunken’s master microphone builders. The internal circuit board is populated entirely with premium, high-grade through-hole components, including specialized film capacitors chosen specifically for their audio fidelity. The microphone housing features a stunning, wear-resistant antique copper finish paired with a durable black nickel grille. This distinctive design looks beautiful in a high-end vocal booth and is built rugged enough to handle the punishing demands of a tracking live room.
