A Classic AKG Condenser Mic Reborn!! AKG's C 451 was one of the all-time great studio condenser microphones. Though the original C 451 mic ended production many years ago, it's still an extremely popular staple in studios all over the world. The enduring popularity of the C 451 inspired AKG to bring this mic back in the C 451 B. AKG C 451 B Condenser Microphone at a Glance: Ideal for overhead drum miking and capturing rich transients Sonically identical to the classic C 451 with improved design Increased stability and switchable high-pass filter Ideal for overhead drum miking and capturing rich transients One of the C 451 B's most common applications is for drum overheads, and many engineers say there's nothing quite like it for miking cymbals - the metallic "crash" and brilliance come through perfectly. The C 451 B is also an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as instruments with a percussive sound, acoustic guitar, or for overhead miking. Sonically identical to the classic C 451 with improved design Sonically identical to the original, which featured the much-acclaimed CK-1 cardioid capsule, the new C 451 B is incredibly precise and accurate. AKG made the C 451 B with dramatically improved specifications. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the new C 451 B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. Other features include an all-metal body for excellent protection from RF interference and high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions. Increased stability selectable pad and high-pass filter The C 451 B capsule is permanently fixed to the preamp to increase overall stability under mechanical stress. It includes a switchable preattenuation pad to increase the C 451 B's SPL capability. A switchable high-pass filter at 75Hz or 150Hz prevents low-end distortion. The AKG C 451 B microphone makes a great addition to any professional studio or recording setup.

Sweetwater Expert Advice     "Nothing sounds like the C 451 B - true, articulate, crisp. My first call for drum overheads, percussion, and acoustic guitar in situations that require added definition."
