Telefunken - ELA M 251E
The ELA M 251E Telefunken is a tube condenser microphone, with a large diaphragm, cardioid, omni and Figure-en-8 directivities. The microphone comes with its lunchbox-type power supply, a lockable flight case and a wooden box. Made between 1960 and 1965 with an estimated total production of less than 3,700 pieces, the original Telefunken ELA M 251E is highly coveted. The rare examples of opportunity that can be found, are sold at exorbitant prices. Telefunken has therefore decided to create a reissue of this legend, with amazing results! The ELA M 251E microphone is a real classic, and has no equivalent among its competitors, with its smooth sound, present and open. It is ideal for vocals and acoustic instruments, and offers a deep and precise bass, a detailed medium response and silky highs.
