V-251 Tube Microphone Kit

The V-251 Microphone is a recreation of the most famous female vocal microphone in history, the Telefunken ElaM 251E. We have implemented it with the best parts on the market: film-and-foil input and output capacitors, a selected low-noise 6072 tube from Europe, and a custom-wound (US made) T-14 transformer. The result is a stunning single-triode tube mic that rivals the performance of multi-thousand dollar commercial microphones. The V-251 includes features not found in the original mic: switchable pad, switchable high-pass filter, and 9-way polar pattern control.   Testimonial "After more than 20 years of recording vocals, we had tried everything. Every mic was too dull, too bright, too harsh, or just wrong. The MicParts V-251 ended that search. It is smooth, powerful, and crystal clear, always flattering and never fights the singer. Every client walks away saying it is the best they have ever sounded. We loved it so much we put one in every control room at The Panda Studios."– Sam
