O.P.R X 251 E
Once upon a time, in the smoky control rooms of the 1960's—where tube amps glowed like dying stars and engineers wore lab coats like high priests of sound—the ELA M 251 was born. Not just a microphone, but a revelation. It didn’t just capture voices; it immortalized them. Creamy highs, sultry mids, all poured neat over a bed of warm, analog perfection.
Built by AKG for Telefunken during a brief, blazing era of sonic alchemy, the original 251 E was a Frankenstein’s masterpiece: an Austrian capsule, the high-voltage hunger of an American 6072a tube, and a tone so pure it made every note sound like angels whispering their secrets. Then, just as quickly, it was gone—killed by corporate reshuffling and the cold economics of progress.
But some legends don’t die. They wait in the dark, humming softly, ready to return.
Our O.P.R X251 isn’t just another knockoff. It’s a love letter.
Every resistor, every capacitor, every twist of wire is part of a pilgrimage toward that elusive, golden sound. This is not a tribute—it’s a resurrection. Handmade. Tone-tested. Ruthlessly faithful to the original, right down to its soul.
