Soundelux E251C

discontinued Cardioid Condenser Tube Microphone

Description

The E251C is a more affordable, cardioid-only version of the renowned Elux251, using the same capsule as the Elux. By using a lower-cost body assembly, removing the pattern selection switch and providing an imported shockmount, significant savings have been realized.

Additionally, the E251C has a “brite/normal” switch which allows for standard ELUX251 type high frequency response or a relaxed high frequency response.

The E251C’s output transformer has been selected to duplicate the intense deep bass of the ELUX but roll off the LF sooner (30Hz instead of 10Hz) making this mic friendlier to a wider variety of recording rooms.

The tube is a New Old Stock GES5670 triode.

With the demise of the Soundelux name, the E251C has been rebranded as the Bock Audio 195.

The Soundelux E251C is also known as: E251.

The mic was released in 2005.
