Transparent Solid-State Performance
The FLEA M 251 f uses modern FET technology to provide a clearer, more reliable audio signal without the typical noise associated with vacuum tubes, ensuring high-quality recordings.
KEY FEATURES
The FLEA M 251 f is a solid-state condenser microphone that replicates the sonic character of the iconic ELA M 251 while offering the clarity, reliability and simplicity of modern FET technology.
Transparent Solid-State Performance
By using field-effect transistor circuitry instead of a vacuum tube, the FLEA M 251 f delivers a clearer and more consistent signal with a noticeably lower noise floor. It operates on standard +48V phantom power, removing the need for a separate power supply or ongoing tube maintenance.
Authentic Capsule and Transformer Design
The microphone features the FLEA CK12 capsule, a carefully engineered replica of the revered CK12, capturing the nuanced tonal complexity that defined the original 251. Matched with a T14/1 transformer clone—identical in design to the original—the FLEA M 251 f achieves an exceptionally accurate tonal signature across all polar patterns.
Versatile Polar Patterns
Cardioid, figure-eight, and omnidirectional modes are all available, enabling full application flexibility whether for vocals, room ambience, or instrumental recordings.
Classic Design and Build Quality
The microphone preserves the vintage appearance and physical build of the 251, incorporating precise mechanical craftsmanship with premium materials. The result is a tool that honours the legacy of one of recording’s greatest microphones, while integrating seamlessly into modern workflows.
Complete Professional Package
