251 Clone User Reviews
Jack Shi - Producer/Mixing Engineer at Aegis Production, Sydney Australia
"...The 251 clone from Nude microphones offers a warm, rich tonal character that beautifully captures vocals and instruments, making it a versatile tool in any recording studio. From my experience, it captures the smooth high end response and detailed mid-range that the Telefunken original is known for.
Combined with the switchable polar patterns that further enhance its versatility, making this 251 clone almost unbeatable for the price point..."

"I love Nude Microphones. They are my first choice, and I always recommend them to both professionals — because of the sound and build — and to newcomers and hobbyists — because of the amazing price point. In this photo we're recording in the control room at Hercules Street Studios in Surry Hills. I've got 6 mics up and the Nude Microphones 251 Clone took the cake. That's Zane Banks with the glasses on — One of Australia's best guitarists and a Fender-endorsed artist — tracking his EP, with Julian Moss (Ian Moss's son) on BVs. It's just the most incredible clone I've heard, and it's highly versatile — not to mention the fantastic long lead it ships with."

“New toy! We’ve treated ourselves to another Nude! Big fans of what they’re doing over at @nudemicrophones and their take on the Telefunken ELAM251 is pretty exceptional to say the least. This tube driven condenser delivers such a huge warm open sound that the original is so renowned for. It’s driven by their custom military grade Russian tube and will undoubtably become one of our go-to's for vocals as was the original that’s featured on countless albums across the years!”

"The 251 is beautiful. It's like gently dipping vocals in aural honey."
