Bock 251 Tube Microphone

The Bock Audio 251 is a faithful, premium re-creation of the vintage Telefunken ELAM 251.

Dave Bock's hand-made mic uses a proprietary German capsule, a NOS tube, and a custom low capacitance cable - for a huge, clear sound at close range. It captures incredible bass, smooth midrange, and airy top end - ideal for vocalists and instruments alike.

The package includes a power supply and a 6 pin Tuchel cable all stored in a wooden box. Shock mount is sold separately.

It's the perfect option if you're after vintage sound without the risks of buying an original.
