Resurrecting the legendary ELAM 251, considered one of the greatest vocal mics ever, the Bock 251 from Universal Audio is a flagship large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone that delivers exceptional sonic quality to your studio recordings, thanks to its extended frequency response and premium, handwired components. Sporting a NOS ECC85 vacuum tube, Cinemag transformer, and a German-made CK12 capsule, this surprisingly versatile studio mic provides the smooth, open tone of the original with modern enhancements for long-lasting reliability.
An onboard switch allows selection between cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional polar patterns, and the high max SPL of 118 dB allows you to use the Bock 251 on sound sources that vintage 251s would balk at. Engineered for a lifetime of exquisite recording, the Bock 251 comes with a dedicated external power supply, a shockmount, and a premium, vintage-style suitcase for convenient storage and transport.
