Alctron T190 Large Diaphragm 251 Tube Condenser Studio Microphone
This is an amazing microphone for the price. The Alctron T190 was designed around the components and specifications of the original Telefunken 251 and delivers a warm rich sound. The unit is in excellent; like new; condition and has never been outside my home studio. I had planned to replace the factory tube with a higher NOS grade tube to improve its sound and performance even more, but never got around to it. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
The Alctron T190 features a classic tube microphone sound, but with low self-noise and distortion specs that meet the current state-of-the-art standards. The 34mm dual-diaphragm capsule and 7025a vacuum tube give the T190 the sought-after warmth, clarity, and presence you would expect from an authentic classic tube microphone, but for just a small fraction of the cost. From omni to cardioid to figure eight, polar patterns are fully variable with a nine-position switch. The output transformer uses a special winding to minimize low-frequency distortion, and internal shockmounts effectively reduce handling noise.
The T190 is one of the high performance tube condenser microphones in the Alctron microphone’s line. It offers a remarkable renaissance of the original, with new self noise and distortion specs optimized to meet the current state of the art. The return of the 34mm dual-diaphragm capsule and the original 7025A vacuum tube give the T190 the high quality sound characteristics of warmth, clarity and presence from Omni to Cardioid to figure-eight, no less than nine polar patterns are selectable on the remote control. The output transformer uses a special winding to minimize low-frequency distortion, and internal shock mounts effectively reduce handling noise.
