Telefunken USA will introduce the Ela M 260 on October 5-8, 2007 at AES in New York City. The Ela M 260 is a newly constructed version of the small diaphragm condenser microphone that was first manufactured in 1959. Telefunken USA describes the small tube mic as "an exceptional sounding microphone for a wide selection of applications [that] is especially well-suited for drum overheads and for acoustic instruments of all types."

The Ela M 260 features a NOS (New Old Stock) Telefunken EF732 tube and is packaged with a set of three interchangeable capsules (cardioid, hypercardioid and omni). The microphone system comes complete with wooden microphone box, 10-meter (approximately 32-foot) Gotham Audio cable, owner¹s manual and 10-year warranty. Also included is an adaptor to allow the use of some AKG CK Series capsules, and other capsules made for JZ/Violet Design and Blue Microphone systems.
