Vacuum Tube Large Diaphragm Condenser
 
The Peluso 22 251 Tube Microphone is styled after the legendary vintage ELA M 251.
Produced for Telefunken GmbH by AKG from 1960 to 1965, the ELA M 251 remains one of the rarest and most coveted of vintage microphones. While the 251 did not evolve very far from the C 12 there are a few key differences. They both employ a double-sided 34mm dual-backplate, edge-terminated gold-coated Mylar capsule and a 6072A glass triode tube. They both employ the T/14 output transformer. The circuitry differs in the way the tube grid and cathode are handled. This gives the 22 251 about 7 dB more gain than the P-12. Additionally, the head grille of the 251 is a little larger than the 12, altering the frequency response. Whether you choose the Peluso 22 251 or the P-12 you will have a microphone with the clarity, openness and top-end 'air' from these vintage legends!
