The ELA M 251 includes a CK12 capsule, a Hiller T14\/1 transformer, and a NOS 6072a 5 STAR vacuum tube, all built to impeccable specifications. Our ELA M 251 is designed to produce an audio signal with the detail, clarity, and character. The ELA M 251 is made with great care in creating components: the capsule, the transformer, the tube, the grille size and the screen mesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrille\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grille is made like a piece of fine jewelry, as it is hand brazed, polished, and bright nickel-plated.

It is a side-address, large-diaphragm design based is a 1″ membrane that is fully metalized. It This freely vibrating membrane will have a lower LF cutoff than any center fixed membrane capsule. The capsule also has a unique system of dual, asymmetrical, separated resonant backplates (each backplate is itself a resonant chamber), which is what gives it a very flat midrange and 10-12 kHz peak. Plus we are offering as an option a vintage 1960’s AKG CK12 capsule!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ELA M 251 uses a period correct Hiller T14\/1 transformer wound to the Braunbuch specification, using laminations made from the identical nickel alloy mixture as used in the historic Hiller T14 transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Wunder Audio ELA M 251 tubes are hand tested NOS GE 5-star 6072A:\u003cbr\u003e• 6.3 volts DC filament voltage,\u003cbr\u003e• 120 volts DC plate voltage\u003cbr\u003eThe GE 5 Star 6072A is one of the finest 6072 tubes ever made. In fact, the GE 5 Star 6072A’s are the only 6072 (12AY7 variant) tubes recommended in high-end applications. The primary special purpose of a 6072 is its super low noise and microphonics. That is why these tubes are important in microphones and first stages of high-end audio equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese special purpose dual triode tubes are equipped with spiral wound heater filaments to eliminate hum and have to pass rigorous screening for noise levels.\u003cbr\u003eWe are using a super rare tube that was made in the 1960s for “Lear Aerospace” worth $500 on the vintage market. It’s a GE 6072 Five Star that was specially made, and hand-picked for this aerospace company. Wunder Audio had acquired a Master carton of 100 of these tubes and that’s why we are making our ELA M clone limited to only 100 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 20 to 20,000 ± 2 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Characteristics (3 different positions):\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOmni-directional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardioid: better than 20 dB front-to-back ratio at 180° sound incidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBi-directional: 20 dB front-to-back ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 1.0 mV\/µbar (–60 dB re 1 V\/dyne\/cm2), unloaded (200 ohms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise Level: less than 20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube Complement: 1 x 6072, 6.3 volts DC filament voltage, 120 volts DC plate voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eELA M 251, Plush Oak Box, Historical Shock Mount, Wunder Audio Power Supply, Original large Tuchel connected mic cable, Tweed Carrying Case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wunder Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57780553122166,"sku":"SWUN251","price":10560.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/files\/Cont.png?v=1777560170","url":"https:\/\/studiocare.com\/products\/wunder-audio-ela-m-251-multi-pattern-tube-microphone-incl-plu","provider":"Studiocare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
