TELEFUNKENELA M 251T Tube Condenser Microphone With CK12 Capsule, Edge-Terminated Membrane

The TELEFUNKEN Diamond Series ELA M 251T large-diaphragm tube microphone fuses vintage recording philosophy with modern engineering innovations to deliver an extraordinarily detailed and nuanced sound. Inspired by the classic ELA M 251 models, the ELA M 251T incorporates a groundbreaking alloy capsule that captures every subtle nuance with stunning accuracy and realism. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments, guitar amps or drum overheads, this premium tube mic will elevate the quality of your tracks. Unparalleled Transparency From Alloy 2213 Capsule At the heart of the ELA M 251T is TELEFUNKEN's innovative CK13 capsule, engineered with an ultrarigid Alloy 2213 diaphragm material. Originally developed for the aerospace industry, this titanium-aluminum alloy provides incredible rigidity and damping characteristics compared to traditional diaphragms. The result is remarkably flat frequency response and breathtaking transparency, especially in the critical low-mid frequencies. You'll experience a new level of depth and detail in your recordings, from powerful low-end warmth to shimmering high-end air. Faithful Vintage Tone From Classic Vacuum Tube Circuitry While the capsule incorporates cutting-edge technology, the ELA M 251T's amplifier circuitry stays true to TELEFUNKEN's roots with an all-tube signal path driven by a NOS ECC81 vacuum tube. This meticulously crafted Class-A electronics design captures all the lush harmonics and dimensional character of classic vintage tube mics. The tube amp imparts a rich, velvety smoothness to any source you record, from lead vocals to drum rooms. It's the perfect blend of vintage warmth with modern precision. Sleek, Durable Nickel Finish Reflects Advanced Design The ELA M 251T's stylish sulfamate nickel-plated body finish represents a bold departure from TELEFUNKEN's traditional mint green aesthetic. This contemporary look reflects the mic's innovative alloy capsule technology while providing robust protection against corrosion and wear. Combined with the mic's ability to withstand moisture, smoke and high SPLs, the ELA M 251T delivers outstanding longevity for professional recording environments. Comprehensive Recording Solution With Premium Accessories When purchased as a stereo pair, the ELA M 251T system includes a custom dual power supply to operate both mics simultaneously along with a durable flight case to safely transport the entire setup. Additional accessories like wooden microphone boxes and stand mounts ensure you have everything needed for professional recording right out of the box. With its uncompromising craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, the TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251T represents the pinnacle of studio microphone design. Whether you're a producer, engineer or serious home recordist, the ELA M 251T will elevate your recordings to new heights of sonic excellence.
