TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik, known for its high-end microphones and dedication to audio excellence, has added another compelling performance to its Live From The Lab series—this time featuring singer-songwriter Braiden Sunshine.
Based in South Windsor, Connecticut, TELEFUNKEN's Live From The Lab series is a performance-focused project that highlights a wide range of talent—local, national, and international—recorded entirely with TELEFUNKEN microphones. Each session is filmed and tracked live at the company's in-house studio, with multitrack audio files made available for download by engineers, producers, and music fans alike.
A statement from the company discloses that Sunshine “is the latest artist to showcase his musical talent on TELEFUNKEN’s ‘Live From the Lab.’ His performance of ‘Under Your Spell’ was tracked with a full complement of the company’s microphones.”
Sunshine first caught national attention on NBC’s The Voice, but his musical journey began years before, singing in his church choir and performing with his early band, Madison Red. He’s since opened for artists like Huey Lewis and LeAnn Rimes and continues to release new material—including his Top 50 iTunes single, “Reality.”
A statement from the company adds that Sunshine “uses the M80 Copper live, as well as the ELA M 251E in the studio,” two microphones known for their clarity, warmth, and detail. His Live From The Lab session includes a performance of “Sail Away,” available to watch online, along with downloadable multitrack session files for mixing enthusiasts.
According to TELEFUNKEN, “All audio files are presented in .WAV format and were recorded at 24bit / 48KHz sample rate. They are clearly labeled in the same format with the source listed first (LEAD VOX, ACOUSTIC, PIANO), followed by the microphone used (C12, AR-51, etc.) and can be downloaded and imported into your Digital Audio Workstation of choice.”
