About this model

The TELEFUNKEN Diamond Series ELA M 251E Stereo Set brings the magic of one of the most legendary studio microphones into the modern age. Meticulously reengineered to recreate the iconic tone that graced countless hit recordings, this matched pair captures sound with an unmatched level of realism and richness. Whether recording a full orchestra, intimate vocals or anything in between, the ELA M 251E reveals new layers of detail and nuance. Unparalleled Realism and Warmth At the heart of the ELA M 251E is an edge-terminated CK12 capsule that recreates the microphone's signature smooth yet present character. You'll be amazed by the open, three-dimensional sound that seems to wrap around you. Subtle inflections and overtones blossom with lifelike clarity. Low frequencies take on a rich, dimensional quality without muddiness. And highs have a sweetness that never fatigues the ear. The ELA M 251E truly makes any source shine with stunning realism. Stereo Pair for Capturing the Full Picture With the ELA M 251E Stereo Set, you can take advantage of coincident or spaced pair stereo miking techniques to capture everything from drum overheads to grand pianos in full fidelity. The included custom dual power supply simultaneously powers both microphones while maintaining consistent levels. You'll have ultimate flexibility to find the perfect positioning and polar patterns to create a cohesive, lifelike stereo image. And the matched pair ensures seamless tonality between channels. Premium Parts for Faithful Reproduction Every component in the ELA M 251E was carefully selected to faithfully recreate the microphone's revered tone. A 6072A vacuum tube provides the warmth and dimension that made the original a studio staple. The Haufe output transformer matches the 14:1 ratio used in classics like the AKG C12. And the microphone's selectable cardioid, omni and figure-8 polar patterns allow you to explore different miking techniques. Whether you're an engineer, artist or audiophile, you'll appreciate the ELA M 251E's meticulous attention to detail. Comprehensive Accessories Included In addition to the matched microphones and dual power supply, the ELA M 251E Stereo Set includes a full suite of premium accessories. The 25' quad-shielded cables eliminate noise interference. The elastic shockmounts decouple the microphones from external vibrations. And the rugged flight case and wooden storage boxes protect your investment. With this comprehensive kit, you'll have everything needed to capture pristine recordings in the studio or on location. Experience the rich, lifelike tone that made the original ELA M 251E a studio legend reborn. With its premium construction and accessories, the TELEFUNKEN Diamond Series ELA M 251E Stereo Set delivers an uncompromising recreation ready to elevate your recordings to new heights.
