{"product_id":"telefunken-elam-260-reconditionne-408936","title":"ELAM 260 - Refurbished","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Rare Legacy in the History of TELEFUNKEN Microphones\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore 1959, TELEFUNKEN distributed Neumann microphones internationally. When this partnership came to an end commercially, the brand entrusted AKG Acoustics in Austria with producing a series of five microphones designed to extend its sonic identity. It was within this lineage that the legendary ELAM 250, ELAM 251, the stereo ELAM 270, as well as two small-diaphragm models, emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis microphone draws directly on that legacy. It is not a strict historical reproduction, as some models in the \" Diamond \" series are, but rather a modern reinterpretation that remains faithful to the original spirit. TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik applies the same exacting standards of selection, finishing and sonic consistency as it does to its most prestigious models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Studio Microphone Designed for Refined, Lively and Detailed Recordings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis type of microphone is aimed at sound engineers, producers, project studios and demanding musicians looking for a more nuanced recording than can be achieved with a conventional condenser that has an overly clinical character. The small-diaphragm format is particularly appreciated when it is important to preserve transient speed, playing clarity and a sense of space without making the high end sound harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a studio environment, it naturally finds its place on acoustic instruments, overheads, strings, certain percussion instruments, folk guitars and even close ambient recordings. The tube adds a more organic texture, with harmonic richness that is often sought to give a source greater depth without weighing it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor users looking to take a step up in recording quality, this is a particularly consistent choice: it combines the precision associated with small-diaphragm microphones with a sense of depth and naturalness reminiscent of the great studio recording chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Take on the Small-Diaphragm Tube Microphone\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAn Alternative to a Simple Heritage Reissue\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe appeal of this model lies precisely in its positioning. Whereas a historical reissue aims for absolute fidelity to an old design, this version takes a more open approach: preserving the soul of the concept while offering a credible tool for contemporary applications. This makes it a particularly relevant microphone for studios seeking a premium color without being limited to a purely collectible approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Marriage of Precision and Harmonic Density\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well-designed small diaphragm stands out for its ability to track attacks quickly, preserve dynamic nuances and retain details in stereo positioning. The tube stage, meanwhile, contributes to a smoother and more expressive response, with a sense of grain that can flatter an acoustic recording or add depth to a close-miked source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis combination makes it appealing to anyone who finds certain small-diaphragm microphones too dry, or certain tube microphones too broad in their response. The idea here is to bring definition, elegance and personality together in a single recording tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Smart Refurbished Choice for a Demanding Studio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this refurbished version, the practical appeal is also clear: you gain access to a microphone from a demo unit, with a 3-year warranty, while retaining the appeal of a rare product. The box shows some signs of wear, but this does not detract from the microphone's suitability for studio use, whether in a recording booth, a production control room or a high-end home recording setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e3 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esmall diaphragm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eonly 1 product\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etube condenser microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Telefunken","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357090107667,"sku":"408936","price":1805.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/09458349c8b971c99d0871396a104b46bc142d10_TELEFUNKEN_ELAM_260.jpg?v=1791481128","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/telefunken-elam-260-refurbished-408936","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
