I love it!
Not all mics are the same, but they can get very close to one another. For example, a U47 may not sound like another U47. It depends on many, many factors!I've compared this mic to a Telefunken ELA M 251 (non-export) model on several different sources (drums, male/female vocals, 3 saxophones, flute, and acoustic guitar). Although there are some minor differences, I get the same vibe from this mic. There's a slight more sweetness and plush-ness to the Tele-251, but the Peluso 22 251 holds its own very well. It has essentially the same mid-range warmth as the Tele-251, but with a tighter low-end. For the money, this mic is a winner for me!I have this mic, an Avantone cv12, and a Peluso 22 47 LE. I love them all, as they each perform different, but equally great roles!If you like the ELA M 251 sound, but you're on a budget, this is your mic!
