Widely regarded as one of the finest condenser microphones ever crafted, the original 251 has left an indelible mark on the world of audio recording. Drawing inspiration from this legendary microphone, the Space 251 pays homage to its rich heritage, often associated with the timeless recordings of the 1960s and 1970s. Even today, leading recording studios and audio professionals rely on the original 251, with notable users such as Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Celine Dion, Shirley Manson of Garbage, and Tom Petty. The Space 251 offers a naturally smooth top-end that infuses recordings with a delightful “air” and “sparkle” without a hint of harshness. Its midrange is velvety and full-bodied, imbuing vocals and instruments with a sense of depth. When it comes to capturing low frequencies, the Space 251 excels, delivering warm and rounded tones that contribute to a robust and well-defined low-end in your recordings. While it shines with vocals, the Space 251 is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for an array of instruments, including acoustic guitars, pianos, strings, and more, all while preserving that classic and enduring sound.
