“I used a really, really nice mic. I used this Telefunken ELA M... which is a really nice tube mic. It's got a lot of saturation”

The Telefunken tube mic (heard as 'Telefunken LA2A M') was used for every lead vocal on the album because its saturation pushes the voice forward in the mix.

“This was the only song on the album that we used the 251 for... The Telefunken 251. Just a bit more of a slice”

Grown Woman's lead vocal was cut on a Telefunken ELA M 251 for a sharper, more digital-camera-like edge than the U47.
