The Telefunken AR 51 features amplifier electronics of a C-12 and ELA M 251E, creating an offshore capsule and power supply.
The Telefunken AR51 is a fantastic utility mic. It's smooth mid-range, open top end, and solid well-balanced low frequency translation makes it a great choice on anything from vocals to drums and percussion to acoustic guitar to saxophone.
While the capsule is built off shore, it is tested to very high tolerances for consistency in our Connecticut based US laboratory. The capsule is then coupled to a slightly tweezed classic amplifier. The core of this amplifier is NOS [New Old Stock] ECC81 vacuum tube which is coupled the same German built output transformer you will find in the C-12 and ELA M 251E.
