Thread Starter  | 251 soundalike I've been borrowing a Soundelux Elux 251 from a friend for a project with a female singer and we have fallen in love with the mic's sound. Unfortunately i cant get hold of the mic and need something similar this week to complete some other tracks with a similar sound. Does anyone have a suggestion of a similar valve (or perhaps not) mic with silky top end? I'm aware of the Korby capsules and of course the original Ela M251 but no one seems to rent them in the london area... |

| It's not valve but the Soundelux iFet7 sounds as if it may have similar characteristics? I have one and the top end is very clean, slightly forward but sounds gorgeous if the singer has a rich sound to begin with. Have you tried Unity audio? They still advertise Soundelux on their site. Or have you thought about the Telefunken AK47? Had good reviews though I've not heard it myself Steve |
