The Golden Age ELA M 251E Tube Microphone is reverse engineered from the Telefunken ELA M 251, to be a faithful recreation of the iconic mic, making it a true workhorse for any sound source in the studio.

The Golden Age ELA M 251E Tube Microphone is three years of reverse engineering and R&D, in the making. The mic body is made of brass, the grille is made of iron. The grille, which is a critical component affecting the sound character, is similar to the one in the ELA M 251. The GA-251 MKII uses a 34 mm K251 style capsule. Being a dual-sided one, it provides both cardioid and omni polar patterns. In order to get a good consistency between units, for each production run of 50 pcs GA-251 MKII units, approximately 200 capsules is evaluated in order to find 50 capsules with specifications that lie within the tight tolerances.The GA-251 MKII uses a NOS Phillip 5840W super low noise pentode tube connected in triode mode in order to decrease the noise. The GA-251 MKII transformer is specially designed with a 10:1 AMI style dual bobbin transformer.
