DESCRIPTION:
What's the sonic difference between a brand-new Telefunken ELA M 251E microphone compared to a vintage original Telefunken ELA M 250E? Join Mitch Gallagher as we put them up against each other, featuring vocalists Nick D'Virgilio and Kat Bowser.

The signal path is each microphone into a Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel (no EQ or compression applied), into an Avid HD I/O at 96kHz, synced to an Antelope Audio Trinity master clock.

Kat Bowser sang:
"Use It All On Me"
