The new Custom Shop line of microphones, with rare vacuum tubes and capsules, are customized versions of the current product line. The brand new ELA M 251T features TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's innovative CK-13™ capsule which incorporates Alloy 2213™, which is both far more rigid and lighter than gold, sputtered on a Mylar™ membrane to achieve both greater accuracy in the low frequency ranges thanks to the higher damping factor of the membrane and an "airy" and "delicate" representation of the upper ranges of the audio spectrum. The Limited Edition ELA M 251AC features the rare NOS TELEFUNKEN AC701 vacuum tube, which has been out of production since 1980, complete with a newly manufactured CK12 capsule. The Limited Edition U 47VC includes a newly manufactured PVC-tensioned, gold sputtered M7 capsule and a VF-14k vacuum tube. The ELA M 270 offers the same exceptional sonic performance as the ELA M 251E in a stereo package, perfectly suited for XY, M/S, or Blumlein techniques.
