Peluso Microphone Lab 22 251 Vacuum Tube Large Diaphragm Condenser

Peluso 22 251 Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone

The Peluso 22 251 is a modern reimagining of one of the most legendary tube microphones in recording history — the classic “251.” Engineered for professionals who demand timeless tone and uncompromising detail, this mic captures the silky highs, rich mids, and full-bodied warmth that made the original a studio staple.

At its core is a dual-sided, edge-terminated 34mm gold-sputtered Mylar capsule, paired with a vintage-style 5744WB subminiature glass triode tube. Peluso has carefully designed the circuitry and transformer to faithfully reproduce the vintage 251's sonic signature — making the 22 251 a go-to for everything from lush vocal recordings to detailed acoustic instruments, snare drums, and soaring strings.

The included MX-56 power supply unlocks 9 polar patterns ranging from omni-directional to cardioid to figure-eight, giving you unmatched versatility in any studio setting. The heavy-duty 8-pin screw-on cable ensures a solid connection and long-term durability you can count on.

Whether you're recording vocals for a major release or capturing delicate instrumentals, the Peluso 22 251 delivers iconic tube warmth with modern reliability.
