“I love the Circle Audio EVO 251 condenser because it is full bodied and sits right into a production without EQ or tons of processing… That being said if you do want to process heavy after recording, it won’t result in a bunch of unpleasant problems coming forward. Very natural and brilliant sounding! Love it.”

”It’s amazing how a mic can have so much clarity without losing any of the body. When I heard the EVO 251 against the ELA M, It sounded like the same mic, but with an upgrade. More clarity, more dimension and more energy without sounding hyped. It even sounded more musical, especially when pushed. All this and it had zero noise-floor at all. I would highly recommend these mics. Circle Audio has created a cheat code.”

“My condolences to the rest of my mic locker. They’re just going to have to watch my EVO 251 from the closet. It’s just so good. Can’t call it a clone if it’s better than the original.”

“As an engineer that records a lot of artists on the road in hotel rooms and AirBNB Living rooms on a laptop, I need a mic that really shines in these undesirable conditions. The non-existent noise floor and rejection of the EVO’s capsule is perfect for achieving some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard in places that have no business sounding that good.”
