ELA M 251E
Tube Microphone
From Telefunken Elektroakustik:
The ELA M 251E is a meticulously accurate recreation of one of the most legendary microphones of all time, featured on countless hits and classic recordings. By virtue of its smooth, yet present and open sonic character, the ELA M 251E large diaphragm tube microphone is a true classic with very few rivals. Ideal for vocals and acoustic instruments, the ELA M 251E offers an extended and focused low end, a detailed mid-range response and a silky top-end. Each microphone is 100% true in every detail to the original (the parts are interchangeable with the 50+ year old originals) and will deliver the same sonically opulent response that has made the ELA M 251E one of the world’s most sought after recording tools.
