Anyone on here use these? I have a 722 and R44, would you recommend anything else to use with these mics, or would they be good to go directly into either of these?
-
There are some people here running them. There's a Team Telefunken. http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=153575.0 (http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=153575.0)

Check out the Team Telefunken thread as recommended. Local cable maker Ted recently got some after an extensive test period with a loaned set.
I love the name and think they are worth having just to say it! (yes I'm a dork). Don't have any yet myself but kind of think it's just a matter of time :P
Besides that, I hear they make decent recordings...
-
Ive had a set for over a year, love them. They would sound great into the 722 i think. I run them with a Sonosax and Ad2k+. Ted runs same setup...here are a few links to my recordings.

Check out the My Morning Jacket show in Philly on Aug. 29, 2010. It is one of the best audience recordings I've heard!

I've heard some things I've really liked from these. I'd love to be able to put some through the paces. It's too expensive an experiment to just wander into though.
-
I figure since I just started a diet that I would use the money I would have spent on junk food for the remainder of the year(or three) I'd spend on some new gear :P

Thats what i thought but i was at the Namm show in in 2012 and came across the Telefunken booth, they gave me a great "show" price and i pulled the plug and said fuck it. turned out to be a great buy IMHO,

great idea, you wont be dissapointed!
-
I still make PS's for these as well - I currently run a quad channel version of the PS that I run a pair of m260s and a pair of m221b's into and then into a Tascam HS-p82 - the m260's are great mics

I just had to post this... Diet for mics may turn you into this :)

:laugh:
haven't seen that before, but it's more for health reasons. With an added benefit of more money saved.

I don't know the number but if it was great I probably would have done that too... That one reason I don't go to places like that... Lead us not unto temptation and all that...
They do seem relatively versatile but to my ear like other really good mics there are certain things they seem to excel at.

There is a set on ebay right now for 1900$.

Thats a good deal. The finish on those 260's is actually the "field kit" finish, the grey. The studio finish is a cream white.

They do sound great

Curious to know where you ran your mics for the SCI show, and what config. Listening to Jellyfish and it sounds excellent! Who runs sound for SCI?

Yes where were you. I will have to look at the venue's chart to see if I can mentally model that place. Also do you have any barn type places, maybe Furthur? I want a pair of hyper's and I really like the tone of these. Though the look as cumbersome as my LD's. Well I can't have anything easy.
-
I was at the left corner of the soundboard tent. I ran them DINa ish hypers, i do love the sound of these hypers. Here are pics from flagstaff, you cant really tell the distance but we were close!
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=157052.0
I dont have any barn type places that i have used the Telefunkens yet. I did use them at Phish Long Beach in the tapers section ran the hypers, and the tape sounds great!!
actually i just found this pic, gives you a good idea

Pulled the trigger on these, getting the field kit from Telefunken. Should be coming in soon :)
Health and gear benefits from my exercise and diet program.
My mics now consist of these, nak 300s, nak 100s, and superluxe cmh8ks.
recorders UA5>Nomad JB3 x 3, archos 605 wifi, Zoom H2, Edirol R44, Sound Devices 722, and various laptops
Several different camcorders/and cameras and miscelaneous gear
I think I'm getting addicted >:D

Great move!

They're shipping out today ;D I can't wait to play with these mics

Got them and taped my first show with them, in a crappy little bar. I used the hypercardioid caps and it sounded pretty good. Got to edit it. One dumb thing is I didn't charge the 722 batteries because I had to drag my sister to the hospital the day before and was up way past my bedtime (I work third shift), missed about 10 to 20 seconds of music.
The main thing it was a test to see I like em, and boy do I.
