Tube Condenser Mic
When proffesionals record tube amps, what do they mic them up with, normal condenser mics?
Q:
A: Anything & everything. Condensor, dynamic, ribbons. Different mics/models give different result (coloration). So does its placement.
Some even use two or more combination. Just give it a try.

Behringer T-1 Tube Condenser Mic $196.99
The sound of tube mics is undeniably rich and smooth. At the heart of each Behringer T-1 condenser mic is a hand-selected 12AX7 tube, which has been specifically designed to give these recording microphones their incredible sonic character. One advantage tube condensers have over their solid-state counterparts is that they are not subject to the rapid rise of odd-order harmonics, which the ear perceives as highly unmusical. Even when subjected to high sound pressure levels, the T-1 condenser mic reacts in much the same way the human ear does.An ideal kick-drum micWhile this condenser mic can handle input levels as high as 130dB, the T-1 comes equipped with a switchable -20dB pad for the extremely high transients generated by kick-drums and heavy-metal vocalists. With its 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range, the T-1 can handle all the low-frequency content you can throw at it, and still provide all the definition your sound source deserves.Cardioid polar patternBehringer T-1 Tube Condenser Mics feature a tight cardioid (heart-shaped) sound-reception pattern, which reduces the pickup of sound from the sides and rear for improved source isolation. The included custom shock mount fits all standard microphone stands and provides further isolation from external sources of vibration, such as sounds transmitted through floor joists and outside traffic.Dedicated power supplyThe included Behringer PSU-T power supply/preamp provides the supply voltage for the tube preamplifier and houses a Low Cut switch that can be used to reduce the low frequency response, if so desired. The included 7-pin multi-core cable supplies power to the mic and routes the audio signal to the XLR socket on the PSU-T.The ultimate recording micSince the early days of recording, sound engineers have been searching for the best-sounding mics for recording acoustic instruments and the human voice. The resounding choice of professional recordists around the globe has been the tube condenser microphone because nothing compares to a sound that’s so open, warm, and full of character. Unfortunately, tube mics can wipe out a home-recording budget faster than you can say “phantom power supply.” But with the T-1, anyone who can afford a decent live microphone can have a studio-grade, tube-powered condenser mic for about the same price.The T-1′s sensitive sideAnother advantage of tube mics is that they typically outperform transistor designs when it comes to subtle signal levels, such as environmental ambiance. The T-1 condenser mic picks up every nuance of your performance, capturing an openly transparent slice of time and space with just the right amount of tube warmth. Now you’ll be able to justify that new set of strings for your acoustic guitar (because you’ll hear the difference), and you’ll marvel at the sparkling highlights coming off your wind chimes.Professional, large-diaphragm, tube condenser microphone for unsurpassed audio qualityHand-selected 12AX7 vacuum tube for exceptional warmth and

Telefunken Ar-51 Large Diaphragm Tube Condenser Mic $1895
While Telefunken Elektroakustik is normally known for historic recreation microphones geared toward recording industry professionals who can afford the best of the best, the AR-51 tube condenser mic is their first attempt at catering to those with less money to spend, but who still want that high-quality Telefunken sound.Part of the R-F-T Series of microphones, the AR-51 is an affordable solution that delivers amazing tone and ultimate application flexibility at a price anyone who is serious about recording can afford. The AR-51 condenser mic is designed in the tradition of the classic tube mics of the past, utilizing the same circuit design as the classic Telefunken ELA M 251E.However, this Telefunken recording mic employs new cost-efficient manufacturing methods to meet a price point suitable to any recording studio, from major, world-class facilities to voiceover rooms and home project studios. The R-F-T Telefunken AR-51 utilizes only premium components, including a vintage New Old Stock (NOS) tube that has been rigidly tested for noise and microphonics, as in the ELA M 251E. The Telefunken AR-51 mic also features a globally-sourced power supply and capsule, both rigorously tested prior to installation.As with all products in the R-F-T range of Telefunken Elektroakustik microphones, the circuit board has been designed for superior current handling, permitting the amplifier to have full access to the necessary “power on demand” for handling low frequency and transient information. Modifications have been made to the Telefunken microphone’s amplifier circuit to optimize the performance of the capsule and a signal path that includes the same European manufactured output transformer found in every ELA M 251 E built since 1960.At the Telefunken Elektroakustic studios in South Windsor, CT, audio engineers have successfully tested a wide range of applications for this large diaphragm microphone. The tube condenser microphone is especially suitable for recording acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and percussion; for drum overheads and close miked drums; and for both male and female vocals. The perfect complement to the company’s acclaimed AK-47, the Telefunken AR-51 is a significant addition to any studio’s microphone locker.The Telefunken AR-51 mic includes the sameEuropean manufactured output transformer found in every ELA M 251 EVintage New Old Stock(NOS) tubeRigidly tested for noise and microphonicsGlobally-sourced power supply and capsulebuilt since 1960Suitable for many miking applicationsShock mountWooden box
