Introducing the FLEA M 251 f, a solid-state interpretation of one of the most revered microphones in recording history—the legendary ELA M 251.

For the first time ever, the iconic 251 sound has been reimagined in a FET design, offering the same classic character with the convenience, reliability, and transparency of modern solid-state technology. No external power supply. No tube maintenance. Just the unmistakable tone of a classic—made simpler.

Key Advantages

  • More transparent sound: Retains the sound character of the original, with a bit more clarity where the warmth of the tube is not required.

  • Lower Noise: Enhanced signal-to-noise ratio thanks to FET circuitry.

  • Modern Reliability: No tubes to replace, and powered easily via +48V phantom power.

It comes equipped with:

Capsule

  • FLEA CK12 Capsule – a meticulous replica of the legendary CK12 for the most authentic sonic character.

Transformer

  • T14/1 Transformer Clone – identical to the original, preserving the signature tonal balance.

Polar Patterns

  • Cardioid, Figure-Eight & Omnidirectional – the full versatility of the original 251 design.

Design

  • Iconic vintage aesthetics with precise craftsmanship.

The FLEA M 251 FET captures the richness and smoothness of its tube predecessor while delivering lower noise, greater consistency, and effortless operation. It’s the perfect choice for those seeking the soul of the 251 without the complexity of tube technology.

Complete Set: Includes the microphone with a handcrafted wooden box, swivel stand mount, and high-quality cable.
