Telefunken TF47 Review / Test (vs. AT2020, TF51, U87, U67)

Today I review the Telefunken TF47 which is a mid-forward multi pattern tube condenser microphone. This offers great mid clarity and a robust low mid section with a tame air sound. If you're going for that more vintage sound, this thing sounds great.
