Hello Guys,
Some folks have been asking us for some audio samples on the SA-251 so I have uploaded a clip to SoundCloud that was kindly sent to me by a female singer.
This take was done at her home with a cheap audio interface, no external preamps and no EQ to showcase what the microphone can achieve even in a humble setup. Just a little reverb was added.

Would love to get some feedback on those who have received the mic. We continue to get them out this week as well
Thanks everyone Josh

Whoa, that is really impressive. I immediately recognize the smoothness of the 251 type. I hear some sibilance, but I believe that's from the vocalist, not the mic. The top end is creamy, just like a 251. I'd love to hear it with a better preamp and a good compressor.
There was a shootout of around 20 new high end mics a few years ago. The $9,000 Telefunken (USA) U47 sounded the best. The Bock 251 was second. Your 251 reminded me of that mic right away. The Bock was $6,000.
I have the Stam SA67 and it's sounds fantastic. The SA-251 would be a brilliant complement to it. I'd love to be able to choose from those two flavors depending on the song and vocal.
That’s a fantastic vocalist there.

Just listening on my phone - but it sounds nice. That song will never make it, though…
