The Peluso 22 251 is styled after one of the world's rarest and most coveted microphones. It captures the nuances of the vintage "251" sound. The Peluso 22 251 employs a dual sided edge-terminated 34mm gold-coated Mylar capsule and a 6072A glass triode tube. The circuitry and transformer have been designed to match the vintage "251". Whether you're micing snare drums or steel guitars, violins or vocals, the 22 251 will provide great results.
The 22 251 is paired with the Peluso MX-56 power supply. The dual sided capsule in the 22 251 enables the power supply to feature 9 polar patterns in an array from omni-directional to cardioid to figure eight.
The 22 251 features our heavy-duty 8-pin screw on cable connector. The large diameter pins in the screw on connector give a tight and secure cable connection designed to perform for a lifetime of use.

Peluso 22 251 Review /
See All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
This large diaphragm tube condenser
mic is hand assembled by John Peluso & company in
Virginia
USA. The 251 ships with
an off the shelf power supply, a briefcase style heavy duty storage case, shock
mount and 7 pin cable. The 251 is a nice looking mic (like all Peluso stuff)
and has that vintage vibe to it for sure.
The sound of the 251 is big and
open. It has a bit of that “disco smile” EQ curve sound to it really, the mids
being gently pulled back and the upper mids and top end coming back on strong
as well as the bass response. It’s not just a big bottom though, the 22 251
delivers a big top end response too that is airy and smooth (great for breathy
male or female vox). Vocals come with detail and size, acoustic instruments
have air and sparkle to them and come across fairly bright. The mids being back
a bit makes it a somewhat non-offensive sound on lots of sources. Drums have
plenty of cut and boom too.
Conclusion: The smiley face response
of the Peluso 22 251 will put a smile on your face if you’re looking for big
response on the top and the bottom. As a female vocal mic or an all rounder
delivering air, cut and size, the 22 251 fills a nice gap in the mic locker for
sure.
