AKGâs C451 was one of the all-time great studio condenser microphones. Though the original C451 mic ended production many years ago, itâs still an extremely popular staple in studios all over the world. One of its most common applications is for drum overheads, and many engineers say thereâs nothing quite like it for micâing cymbals - the metallic "crash" comes through brilliantly. The enduring popularity of the C451 inspired AKG to bring this mic back in the C 451B. Sonically identical to the original, which featured the much-acclaimed CK-1 cardioid capsule, the new C451B is incredibly precise and accurate. The capsule is permanently fixed to the preamp to increase overall stability under mechanical stress. It includes a switchable preattenuation pad to increase the micâs SPL capability. A switchable highpass filter at 75 Hz or 150 Hz prevents low-end distortion, while the C451Bâs all metal body provides excellent protection from RF interference. This microphone makes a great addition to any professional studio or recording set-up. This is a serialized matched stereo pair. Precise artistic work deserves precise artistic craftsmanship. A classic by now, the CMS Series CK 1 capsule from AKG was a best seller from the moment it was launched in 1969. Comprising a range of interchangeable capsules and preamps as well as then innovative, dedicated accessories, the CMS Series from AKG quickly became a legend.
