HOW DO I USE IT? Though it’s primary use will undoubtedly be on male or female vocals, the ELUX 251 will also find itself an extraordinary performer on other instruments as well. A single ELUX 251 in front of a drum kit through a good tube compressor may be the biggest drum kit sound you’ll ever get! Drum kits will have astounding impact and transient response, with no overt artificial high end or midrange boxiness. Pianos will also benefit from the open top of this mic. It will also excel on percussion, acoustic guitars, standup bass, and as a main ensemble mic.
