V-251 Tube Microphone Kit

The V-251 Microphone is a recreation of the most famous female vocal microphone in history, the Telefunken ElaM 251E. We have implemented it with the best parts on the market: film-and-foil input and output capacitors, a selected low-noise 6072 tube from Europe, and a custom-wound (US made) T-14 transformer. The result is a stunning single-triode tube mic that rivals the performance of multi-thousand dollar commercial microphones. The V-251 includes features not found in the original mic: switchable pad, switchable high-pass filter, and 9-way polar pattern control.   What's in the kit?
