Fully Modular. Unmistakably Analog.
At the heart of the Master Stereo Set are two matched ELA M 260 tube microphones, each hand-assembled and powered by a dual-channel M960S regulated power supply. Built in the USA, this PSU features a slow-ramping heater voltage circuit to protect the NOS Philips 5840W vacuum tubes inside each mic—ensuring both long-term reliability and consistent tube performance.
Whether you're recording acoustic instruments, string ensembles, percussion, or wide stereo soundscapes, the 260 Series captures every source with lush harmonic richness and fast, transparent transients.
