Telefunken ELA M 251 E
Telefunken M250/251為真空管麥克風,使用著由高電壓(相較於48V的Phatom Power)才能驅動的早期類比電子零組件 ; 真空管元件有著使用壽命上的限制,因次經過一定程度的使用後,會需要更換新管。 另外由於真空管的生產廠商越來越少,加上不同國別的生產廠商品質、聲音特質又各不同,所以這類型的經典真空管麥克風在使用上、保養上不似現代的電容式麥克風容易,往往需要花費心力的去照顧、備藏越來越珍貴稀有的真空管。

回溯Telefunken ELA M 250真空管麥克風的歷史可以早至西元1947年開始,由Neumann GmbH家的U-47麥克風起始 ; Telefunken ELA M 251則是源自西元1958年的Neumann Gmbh U-48麥克風。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1947 Neumann GmbH first built the U-47 microphone. From 1947 to 1958 TELEFUNKEN GmbH used their established global distribution network for the products produced by Neumann GmbH, which were sold under the TELEFUNKEN name with a TELEFUNKEN logo badge.
In 1958 when Neumann GmbH notified TELEFUNKEN GmbH that they had decided to not renew their distribution contract, TELEFUNKEN reached out to AKG Acoustics about the possibility of AKG creating a "U-47 like" model for TELEFUNKEN to plug into their global distribution network.
This U-47-esque microphone was to be known as the ELA M 250. Like the U-47 this new microphone featured the pattern selection (cardioid and omni-directional) switch on the head of the microphone. Around 1958 Neumann GmbH also released their U-48 microphone which featured cardioid and "figure 8" pattern selection. The TELEFUNKEN ELA M 251 was an amalgam of the two as it featured 3 pattern (cardioid, figure 8 and omni-directional) selection capability.

Telefunken ELA M 250/251經典真空管系列有兩種不同的真空管構型,分別為GE 6072以及AC-701真空管,這些真空管已經變得越來越稀有昂貴 ; 部分經過嚴選、匹配的真空管更是可以再貴上個幾倍至幾十倍。
