Since July 1, 2021, new sales tax regulations apply to web shops across the EU. Unfortunately, this change forces us to make some changes to our shop system. For customers outside the EU, net prices continue to apply. EU customers with a VAT ID number can also continue to make net purchases. All other customers based in the EU now have to pay the net plus the VAT rate applicable in your country. In order to make this safe from legal warnings, it was necessary to hide the prices until a customer is logged in. By registering and logging in, the sales tax applicable to the customer in his place of residence is automatically added. The delivery address is decisive for this. Thanks for understanding!

Circuit Design
The TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251E includes an edge terminated, dual backplate CK12 capsule capable of cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional polar patterns, a 6072A vacuum tube and a Haufe T14/1 output transformer (the same found in the AKG Acoustics GmbH C12). Modern component choices allow for tighter tolerance specifications, better current handling and a lower self-noise than their vintage counterpart. Each reissue is 100% true in every detail to the original (the parts are interchangeable with the 50+ year old originals), and will deliver the same sonically opulent response that made the ELA M 251E one of the world’s most sought after recording tools.

Construction
The TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik recreation of the ELA M 251E large diaphragm tube microphone is exact in every detail, down to the historically accurate cosmetic finish and structural design. The amplifier circuit containing the vacuum tube and output transformer is housed in a molded plastic enclosure, while the capsule is suspended upon a moving polar pattern switch within the head grille. The classic diamond shaped TELEFUNKEN logo badge is attached to the front of the microphone with the ELA M model name engraved at the base of the headgrille.

Accessories
Each ELA M 251E microphone comes complete with M 950E power supply, M 850E 25’ Sommer tube microphone cable, Rycote shockmount, FC50 locking flight case and WB50 wooden microphone box.
