Description
One for the road
The AKG 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.
Features:
- Sound of legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule from 1969 – delivers stunning sound quality with maximum accuracy
- Established tour sound standard since the 1980’s – for excellent sound quality even under harsh on-stage conditions
- Impressive sound pressure level capability of 155dB SPL – allows close-miking of high-energy sound sources without distortion
- Highly effective high-pass filter with 12dB/octave – prevents low-end distortion caused by rumble or wind noise
