The Beesneez BN251 is an exact mechanical replica of the Telefunken ELA M 251, mirroring every component to deliver authentic vintage aesthetics and performance.
KEY FEATURES
The Beesneez BN251 ELA M 251 is a meticulously crafted, part-for-part mechanical replica of the iconic Telefunken ELA M 251 microphone, featuring identical external and internal components, including the connector, a faithfully recreated power supply, and the signature smooth, airy tone that has defined countless hit recordings.
The Legacy of the Original ELA M 251
The Telefunken ELA M 251 microphone, originally designed in the 1950s by Austrian manufacturer AKG, gained prominence in the 1960s as a result of a collaboration between AKG's engineering expertise and Telefunken's branding and marketing capabilities. Renowned for its unparalleled audio quality, this microphone earned a reputation for its smooth, rounded, yet airy sound, making it a favourite among recording professionals. However, the current version of the ELA M 251, manufactured in the United States, shares no direct lineage with the original, making it a modern homage rather than a continuation of its legacy.
