Complete stereo setup Stereo set with the classic brush tube microphone The Ela M260 is without a doubt one of the industry’s finest microphones for acoustic and classical recording.
The compact microphone has exceptional detail, clarity and depth that captures every nuance of music and performance.
Developed in the late 1950s for the legendary Ela M251/250 series, the Ela M260 quickly became known as one of the absolute best microphones for classical recording. The Ela M series was created in collaboration with AKG to replace Neumann-produced models in Telefunken’s range. The Ela M260 stereo comes with three types of capsules, TK60 – Kidney, TK61 – Sphere and finally TK-62 Super Kidney, which provides great flexibility for sessions.
Ela M260 is equipped with a NOS EF-732/5840W tube and a custom out-put transformer which, together with the other construction, makes this microphone so well-sounding.
The Ela M260 comes complete with 2-channel power supply, M801 tube mic cable, shock mounts and wooden storage box.
