The Telefunken R-F-T CM 7151
Bottle Microphone System
Over the last 5 years, recording professionals have embraced the
Telefunken | USA™ series of microphones as indistinguishable from
the original classic designs. Telefunken | USA is pleased to
announce the first of a series of R-F-T historical recreations, the
CM 7151 bottle mic.
Based on the original R-F-T design the new CM 7151 comes complete
with a Telefunken M7 lollipop style capsule, two New Old Stock
Telefunken EF12 tubes, a vintage style power supply, 10 meter
Gotham Audio cable, locking flight case, owners manual and 5 year
limited warranty.
Unlike any other Telefunken | USA™ microphones, an onboard tube
preamplifier provides a line level output, suitable for direct
recording to any professional recording device. An unusual feature
of this system is a selectable output transformer switching matrix,
allowing variation between two different output transformers,
producing noticeably variable sonic characteristics. Like the
original, the CM 7151 amplifier body will accept all original
Neumann made M7, M8 or M9 lollipop capsules, as well as newer
lollipop style capsules made by JZ / Violet and B.L.U.E.
The R-F-T CM 7151 will be sold direct from the Telefunken | USA™
lab and will begin shipping in October 2006. To place an order for
the new CM 7151, please contact us directly by calling
860.882.5917.
To purchase a Telefunken R-F-T CM 7151 Bottle Microphone System
microphone you can order direct from our lab by emailing us or
