I own a reissue Telefunken Ela m 251e with the original CK-12 brass vintage capsule and it sounds amazing!

Best Singer I ever heard doing these mike test. Really shows the capability of the mike handling 4-5 octaves..

[@johnmarx]

Marilyn Manson used this mic for Mechanical Animals. Always wondered why the vocals on that album sounded so amazing.

[@vintagekingproaudio]

That's super cool! Amazing record!

[@stupendousmusic4190]

WOW! What a singer: great voice! She's gorgeous too, but the voice wins out here!

Björk used one for Utopia. She tried to buy the vintage one from the studio but they wouldn’t sell it 😅Poor Björk.

Love the microphone! Amazing open, transparent sound. Does make me thing of the sE Electronics Gemini II in some ways, also a amazingly balanced, transparent microphone with a lovely silk high end to it. Just briliant!

[@doraysmith]

This mic has be to be at the very top of the mic chain.....all of the samples Ive heard on any source is just killer....the closest to it would be the Sony 800g...

[@Hexspa]

Don’t feel bad if you don’t get a lot of watch time for this video - people often turn away from things which are too beautiful.

[@onanislandmusic2970]

which preamp was used on the vocal take?

[@MusicCityOdia]

Sweet and clean voice. Very nice reverb and preamps use please says.

[@DanMarcelino]

Would love a pair of these.. love this mic. CHOOB & CAPCHULE.. sorry, I had to.

[@georgebirddrums]

[@WELCOMETOVALHALLA]

Chris brown used this Mic for his indigo album

[@markshields3856]

Great demo-mic sounds great. Can you confirm what model of Martin he's playing? Great tone captured.

[@MrCamwilliams7]
