The Telefunken KT88-TK Black Diamond Series Vacuum Tube is ideal for use in guitar amplifiers and hi-fi power amps in homes, studios, and live stage applications. For personal enjoyment or commercial recording, it grants the signature KT88 midrange with the added benefit of expanded low and high frequencies. Among the largest in its class, this beam-power tetrode tube delivers high power and low distortion while handling plate voltages up to 800V. Depending on the circuit type, it can be used as a beam-power tetrode or an output-beam pentode.
Newly manufactured and cryogenically treated version of the legendary KT88
Beam-power tetrode tube design similar to the 6L6 and EL34
Great for guitar amps and hi-fi power amplifiers
One of the largest tubes in its class
Handles plate voltages up to 800V
High power and low distortion make it ideal for scenarios where higher gain with less distortion than a 6550 is desired
Yields the characteristic midrange of the original KT88 manufactured by MOV (Marconi-Osram Valve) plus expanded low and high frequencies
Each tube is meticulously measured for all critical parameters of performance including transconductance, gain, noise, and microphonics
Tubes are selected by hand, rigorously tested, subjected to an extended burn-in period for stability, and remeasured before final packing
