It’s been over a decade since we first made our first V series product under the TAB Funkenwerk brand name. What started off as an experimental project for fun, grew into a full fledged business. After repairing, modifying and even resurrecting hundreds of historic V series units, Oliver decided to see what would happen if he built one from scratch. Armed with the schematics of the historic V72s made by Siemens, transformer winders purchased from Boeing Surplus, and a box of NOS Telefunken tubes, Oliver started down the path. During the development stage, Oliver sent the unit back to Hannover, Germany twice to be auditioned by former TFK engineers to make sure that he had successfully captured the sound of the historic V72s. At the same time, Oliver was able to add some modern touches to the unit without compromising the sound. Silver plated Teflon and magnetic wire were new inventions since the historic pieces were originally built and greatly helps keep the phantom power supply from burning up the input transformer which was common back in the day. Additionally, he added in some of the modern controls that today’s studios are looking for; direct input, phase reverse, 120 Hz shelf, 100 Ohm ground resistive buffer, etc. Once he was satisfied with the results, he set about producing more of these units.
