An absolute beauty, the original 251 is considered one of the best microphones ever made!
The FLEA M 251 is the clone of this beauty.
Yes, it took quite a long time, but the complexity of this microphone demanded it, along with a great deal of effort and deep enthusiasm in the development process.
Just an aside: if you weren't passionate enough, the careful cloning of all the mechanical parts could drive you insane.
But despite the difficulty, everything is perfected.
