zZounds Gear Experts Say...
You can't go wrong with a Telefunken tube condenser! This USA-made workhorse mic delivers natural, transparent sound on vocals, guitars, drums, and beyond.

The TF29 Copperhead is an evolution of the CU-29 Copperhead, an original TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik design that garnered fans for its natural and non-hyped tonality and unparalleled "quality for price." The TF29 continues this reputation of outstanding sonic performance and value. It's a workhorse microphone, accurately and honestly capturing vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, and nearly any source put in front of it.

The TF29 features a new old stock American-made 5654W vacuum tube, all-brass K67-style capsule, and a premium Swedish-made Lundahl output transformer. These components create a balanced frequency response and natural tonality, making the TF29 a trusty go-to choice.

Every TF29 Copperhead microphone system comes with a fixed pattern M 902 Power Supply, M803 Tube Microphone Cable, ZC03 Shell Case, M 703 Shock Mount, M 782 Stand Mount, and Microphone Sleeve.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Call me crazy but I use this for voice over and a little singing. It sounds really good. Has a presence and a smoothness about it- and almost a three dimensional quality to the audio. Coming from the Sennheiser 416, which is a great mic but I felt the Sennheiser was a bit grating on the ear for long audiobook reads, but the Copperhead is REALLY pleasant to listen to long term. Sibilance is low, tone is warm but still very precise- which you want for a read. Sound sits on top of a mix well.Mic is also very handsome and comes with a shock mount and hard traveling case and power supply. It's funny, because it has its own power supply you can plug it directly into your phone! Was worried about spending so much on a mic but I'm very happy with the purchase.
