The Elam 251 is like a hot-rodded C12. Some differences;

1. The pattern selector for the C12 is a separate box that connects on the power supply, the elam has the selector on the microphone. More gain, less noise.

2. The tube is mounted right side up in the C12 and upside down in the elam. The elam allows for less heat congestion and less heat on the capsule.

3. The elam has a superior grill.

Just to name a few.
