B0/R0 "Elam 251 inspired" Capsule vs. the real deal Elam 251...

AdamJay · 28th July 2006

has anyone ever compared the BLUE B0 or RED R0 (same thing) "elam 251 inspired" capsule to a vintage elam 251?

if so, which body were you using for the capsule and what were your findings?

thx.

I have tried this capsule with an AKG C28A...it sounded quite nice, but the high end just didn't have that 251 magic...at higher vocal levels it got a bit edgy, but all in all it's still a very nice capsule, and if you have a C60 or C28 it's quite an economical way to get your vocal sound in the ballpark.
