An absolute beauty, the original 251 is considered one of the best microphones ever made!
The FLEA ELA M 251 is the clone of this beauty.
Yes, it took quite a long time, but the complexity of this microphone demanded it, along with a great deal of effort and deep enthusiasm in the development process.
Just an aside: if you weren't passionate enough, the careful cloning of all the mechanical parts could drive you insane.
But despite the difficulty, everything is perfected.
And a few things have actually been improved:
- All important connecting parts, pins and terminals are gold-plated
- The wiring based on Andreas Grosser's latest update gives this amazing-sounding Microphone less noise.
The other important parts of this microphone are:
- Tim Campbell CT12 capsule - the precise sound of the CK12
- Carefully selected 6072A tube
- Our identical T14/1 transformer clone
