The BeesNeez Tribute 2

Condenser Microphone (ELA M251)

The Telefunken ELA M251 has earned the reputation of being the one of the best microphones ever made. Originally manufactured by AKG for the Telefunken company, the ELA M251 shares many characteristics with the AKG C12, but there are subtle differences which allow the 251 to develop its own character. In microphone specifications, small electrical differences can equal large sonic differences, yet although similar in nature the ELA M251 and C12 sound very different. BeesNeez decided to build the Tribute 2 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone to satisfy mounting pressure by their existing customers to build a microphone that would sound like the 251. Original construction of the 251 was quite modular. The original idea behind this was to allow for easy replacement of parts. This, though, also introduces potential pin-to-pin issues that in themselves can create reliability issues and of course over time. These issues have rendered many 251’s into an irreparable state. BeesNeez pins are turned rather than pressed. The advantage here is a lifetime of connection without degradation.

The capsule in the Tribute 2 is the BeesNeez Microphones CK12 capsule. The transformer in the Tribute 2 is a 13:1 tape wound mumetal toroidal transformer. The tube in the Tribute 2 condenser microphone is a 6S6B-V Russian Military tube. BeesNeez has chosen this tube due to its low noise and sonic similarities to the Telefunken AC701k.

The BeesNeez Tribute 2 was not designed to be a clone or copy microphone. But instead, it was designed to faithfully recreate the sonic characteristics of the ELA M251, as a “tribute”, at a fraction of the price. The Tribute 2 captures the smooth nature of the original ELA M251 microphone. The sound is very open and present, but still has an amazing smoothness to it. This sound has been made famous by many recordings over the decades.
