Universal Audio added David Bock to their team and with that comes his classic designs, such as the top-of-the-line Bock 251 large-diaphragm, multi-pattern tube microphone. Manufactured in Santa Cruz, each microphone is meticulously calibrated by David Bock to ensure pristine quality. Known in the industry for his exquisite microphones, David Bock brings his designs to the Universal Audio custom shop. Each microphone is designed and assembled as they always have been: in small batches by hand. Tube mics have been a specialty of David Bock and so the Bock 251 is the pinnacle of his tubular exploration. Using the highest quality components is crucial since tube mics have a deceptively simple design meaning you can hear every slight imperfection. The Bock 251 uses a brass C12-type capsule for outstanding sensitivity and hand wired components. A selectable polar pattern switches from omni to cardioid to figure 8. There are no frills or extra features on this microphone, you just get the pure sound of what you are recording through one of the best mics in the industry. If you want simple, incredible sound that's easy to mix, and a tool that's versatile for myriad applications, the Universal Audio Bock 251 is the choice.
