A "favorite" 251 was used for vocals on Love Is a Four Letter Word, as stated by producer Joe Chiccarelli in this July 26, 2012 Universal Audio blog interview.
It was his favorite Telefunken 251 through a Sunset Sound mic preamp into a Universal Audio 1176 Limiter. He’s used 1176s for many, many years. He has them at home and in his studio. So we set up what he normally has at home at Sunset Sound for him to work on.

Universal Audio Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier Plug-In
Avg price: $39.00
Used for the vocals on Love Is a Four Letter Word, as stated by producer Joe Chiccarelli in this July 26, 2012 Universal Audio blog interview.
Often when we mixed there was a plug-in on [Jason Mraz’s] vocal, whether it was the Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier, or an 1176 Classic Limiter, any additional compression came from plug-ins. Then, maybe some EQ for air on the top of his vocal. Jason’s got a lot of beautiful air and tone to his voice, so often I would enhance that with a plug-in.
