Hey all, Still recovering from NAMM Finally back to 90%. That's good enough for me. Regarding the 251 tube 6072 TAD Highgrade, It's a modern JJ 6072 that the Tube Amp Doctor hand selects across a very large lot 10k or more of JJ tubes. They essentially are the top 1% of the tubes selected. And all the tubes for the 47 are NOS ef800 ef80 variants. Most recently we are using the NOS ef80 Philips Miniwatt as standard and offering NOS Mullard Blackburn & NOS Telefunken as an upgrade. Thanks, Eric

Tim, That is 100% true. We commissioned Aputis to machine some of the brass parts for the 251. We also hired a company to make the metal work for the PSU. We also hired a company to do the injection molding. We also hired a company to make rivets…..we also hired a company to make us pcbs… Not sure why that matters? Company’s use outside resources all the time. I guess maybe you would know this of you made more than one thing? Seems to me like you’re stirring up shit cause you are holding some kind of grudge towards Heiserman Audio..

Hey all,
I will say this! Don’t worry, no one will need to return a thing🤣🤣 And yes the Heiserman 251 is very slightly different than the original. It has an off the shelf binder part on the connector side of the mic that required a slight adjustment. We speak to this and shown this in pics posts on social media! I also want to address the Aputis in the room.. we are currently in a dispute and like Mr Kennedy said this is not the place to discuss. Also the next run and any future mics are 100% made by us. Not an Eastern European “manufacturer” Thanks, Eric Heiserman

If anyone can get theirs & put it up against the Upton it'd be a great service & much appreciated! Aremos, I have some tracks that put it up against the Upton. Send me a PM and I can get you a link to the session. You just can't publish a mix if you do one.

Rob, I sent you a message.. You are in the first batch for sure.. We are shipping in order but with a no money down order we will most likely get some folks that just bow out. We also have enough new hardware to build the next 100. Once we get 251 website up anyone can place an order.

ab101, We are taking zero money down orders to get inline. Once we complete the first batch built and shipped I would expect a build time of around 4-6 weeks. It's good to get inline!

No EU distribution but we do sell directly of course. Its something we will be doing in the near future once we scale production up. As for demos in the EU we have none sadly. We may be able to track down a current owner of the 47tube.

Hey all!
We are shooting for around $5899 for the street price. And rest assured it is going to kill anything out there in terms of an accurate sounding 251. The new Heiserman HK12 is now 100% accurate down to the brass 1mm screws and brass secondary plates. We are very very proud of this mic. The custom wound transformer is 100% accurate recreation of the 1950s best sounding units. We are going to build the first batch and once completed will announce the availability. We expect these to go fast so we are already prepping for the next batch! The proto is actually being used on the next Kacey Musgraves album. The entire production team was floored by the sound.

Shameless plug for our type-19

Hey… 251 is finally moving forward…it’s hard to say when we will take orders but it will be happening early 2022. The development of this has taken a significant amount of time. That being said we have a few surprises that make this one pretty special. I will be sure and update you all once we have some further movement..

Hey all!!
Please do NOT “clip” the led!! First off it’s surface mount and is actually part of the voltage regulation.. the holes in the shape of the logo were actually an after thought. Maybe some black tape may be a better solution that won’t void your warranty😬😬😬. And regarding the capsule it’s currently designed for the hk47 Sadly the way we designed the internal shockmount won’t allow the use of our H7 capsule. It would require tooling costs extra so a one off isn’t very practical. That being said we are releasing something in the near future that is based of the type19 with a hk12 capsule. Hopefully by spring 2022.

Yes I was a jeweler in another life... 😬😬😬 Don’t worry folks. We will make sure it looks right! I am not sold on the badge as is either. It’s a bit to big and is sitting a touch high on the mic... the Heiserman team has a few ideas floating around. Rest assured it will be on brand and look good...

Hey all,
The Heiserman 251 will come with a Heiserman badge.. like Dave mentioned we may change the look... I personally am on the fence. If you don’t like the badge you can pull it I guess.. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ Eric

Hey all,
The tube is still up in the air... we have a a bunch to try. That being said it will most likely be a modern tube not an NOS. The old ones are just to all over the place and hard to get in any real numbers. I’m sure we would be open to installing a preference before we shipped. And yes our production model will be the “export version” so it will be a 6072 tube....

It's wonderous. It's the big mama my little baby DIY mic would grow up to be. Glad to see people doing it the right way, for the current generation. Thanks so much for the kind words... it’s not easy but we love what we do!

Hey all,
So we will be taking pre orders in a few weeks for delivery early 2021. And yes the first pre orders will be discounted from the final price. We will be sharing some sound clips along with more pics etc once we have the mic wrapped up from the sonics perspective. The Heiserman team is working very very hard along side the best sounding original 251's to get this better than perfect. Give us a few more weeks or so and we will announce pre orders! Here are a few pics of the internals.

Did this whole record with the k47 (H47) in the Heiserman. Thought he sounded great on it. It does sound great!! Make sure and touch base with Wave, you can choose the valve. Cause in the end it's really about how you feel about it!
