EL34-TK Vacuum Tube
$65.00 – $270.00
TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik Black Diamond Series Vacuum Tubes are manufactured in partnership with JJ Electronic of Slovakia. The new production tubes are designed to be harmonically rich and tonally balanced. Each tube is rigorously tested, cryogenically treated and extensively burned-in.
The TELEFUNKEN EL34-TK has been designed to handle a slightly higher grid voltage than the traditional EL34. Offering a tight low end and smooth mids, it will bring new life to guitar and hi-fi amplifiers while retaining the historic tone TELEFUNKEN tubes have always been know for.
The EL34 is smaller in diameter and taller than the 6L6 and is capable of a higher plate voltage; factors that help give the EL34 its unique output stage properties. The EL34 is a high output pentode tube as opposed to other output tubes like the 6L6 and the 6550, which are beam tetrode tubes.
Mullard, which was a subsidiary of Phillips, originally released the EL34 in 1953. EL34’s are most commonly used in pairs in a Class AB1 push-pull configuration. This EL34 is found in many amplifiers that offer the “British tone”, like Marshall and Hi-Watt, where the 6L6 is more commonly found in American made amps like those from Fender and Mesa Boogie.

Each tube has been fully tested to ensure reliability and is guaranteed to perform as described. It is the responsibility of the customer to consult with the equipment manufacturer (or qualified technician) for the selection of proper tubes and proper installation and biasing procedures.
