The TELEFUNKEN Diamond Series U48 represents a meticulous recreation of one of the most revered microphones in recording history. Originally launched in 1958, the U48 earned its place in studios worldwide thanks to its rich, authoritative midrange and extended low-end response. The U48 even gained the admiration of Beatles producer George Martin, who used it extensively on the band's iconic recordings. Now, TELEFUNKEN has brought this classic back to life with stunning accuracy for a new generation of audio engineers and musicians.
