AKG C451 B Small-diaphragm Studio Instrument Condenser Microphone

The C451 B is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone with the identical acoustical behavior of its predecessor, the legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule, which was a bestseller right from the start in 1969.

With its airy sound, high overload limit and improved engineering details, the C451 B continues the success story of this legend. The roadworthy design around the handcrafted capsule and the low-noise preamp electronics ensure impressive results even under very harsh conditions.

The small-diaphragm C 451 B is unsurpassed in capturing transient-rich sources like percussion, guitar, and drums. Its extremely light diaphragm makes it nearly immune to handling noise, while an all-metal body protects against RF interference. Features a three-way sensitivity switch and three-way low-cut switch. Includes case, clip, and windscreen.
