ELA M 260

The small diaphragm ELA M 260 features a circuit design based around a 5840W vacuum tube and a custom (U.S. made) output transformer.

One of the few small diaphragm tube microphones available today, the ELA M 260 is an absolute first choice for acoustic instrument recording. Everything from stringed instruments to drum overheads will benefit from the 260’s perfect combination of small diaphragm precision and classic tube warmth. Its tonality and detail when capturing acoustic instruments, especially strings, brass, woodwind and percussion is unrivaled. Hand-built in the USA, the ELA M 260 is available Cardioid only or with all capsule options (Master Set), as well as in Stereo and Tri-Mono (Decca Tree) packages, which include an American-made power supply and matched thread-on interchangeable capsules in a premium flight case.
