Brand: Telefunken
The Telefunken S 100B is a vintage microphone capsule that was originally designed for use in high-end broadcast and studio applications in the mid-20th century. It is a large diaphragm, dual backplate, pressure gradient capsule that delivers a rich, detailed, and natural sound. The capsule's design includes a gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm, which provides excellent frequency response and sensitivity. The dual backplate design, which consists of a graphite backplate surrounding a brass backplate, helps to reduce noise and ensure accurate polar pattern response. The S 100B capsule is still highly regarded and sought after today, and is often used in high-end microphone designs by modern manufacturers. Its characteristic warm and detailed sound is particularly well-suited to voices, acoustic guitars, and other acoustic instruments.
