Hoffs & Sweet UseTelefunken


The mere mention of the name Telefunken to a home-studio enthusiast causes two simultaneous reactions: one of drooling over the pristine audio output delivered by one of the world's great mics, and also the jaw-drop routine when the producer eyes the sticker price of the vintage mic.

In 2000, Toni Roger Fishman purchased the Telefunken brand and changed the name to Telefunken USA. Today, they provide restoration services and build reproductions of vintage Telefunken microphones. Producers, vocalists and musicians have taken a liking to the vintage sound, including The Bangels founding member Susanna Hoffs and producer Matthew Sweet.

Read more about their second and latest collaboration and their home-studio set-up.
