Don`t know if the Telefunken designers meant to make this stereo mic look like a retro American bar sign - but they did - and aint she a doozy! You can use the capsules either in stereo, or individually, mounted either on regular mic stands, or using the 3 metal legs they come with (for extra wide stereo recording) that make then look like Sputniks (!). Both capsules are wired to XLR cables, come in the origional box, and sound the same. Superb as a room mic for general ambience, lots of clear, well defined top end, and a very tight rounded bottom - it`s a bit like a Sennheiser MD409 with the mids smoothed out, so it shines as a vocal mic (ever recorded vocals in stereo? - extra special!) and is rather glorious on acoustic instruments (guitar especially - both steel & nylon). I loved it as a distance mic (12-16 feet) on wind instruments & strings - came out sounding like a finished 70`s recording once the mics were positioned correctly - works the same for live bands too! Bit of a find folks - these babys are super rare and heads upon shoulders above the usual Telefunken Shmare one generally sees on ebay. Put some Class on the brass!
