Responding to growing demand, AKG decided to make the C 451 B with the same acoustic performance as the popular original C 451 EB + CK 1, 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. The AKG C 451 B is an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as drums, instruments with a percussive sound, acoustic guitar, or for overhead miking. Also available as a matched stereo pair C 451 B/ST with complete accessories in a carrying case (Soundtool case, middle size). Features <ul><li>Identical acoustics to legendary CK 1</li><li>Precise, nearly frequency independent cardioid</li><li>Extremely accurate signal transfer and ruler-flat on-axis frequency response</li><li>Also available as a matched stereo pair</li></ul>

The AKG C 480 B is part of a 
system designed specifically for excellent audio quality and maximum 
flexibility. Its electronic circuitry coupled to a transformerless 
output stage assures completely linear transfer characteristics across 
the entire audio bandwidth, while achieving self-noise figures close to 
the theoretical minimum. This, in combination with a typical SPL 
handling capability of 140 dB broadband means a dynamic range exceeding 
125 dB, making the system suitable for the most critical digital 
recording applications. Gold plated switch and connector contacts 
guarantee consistent performance. 
<ul><li>Ultra low-noise preamplifier</li><li>Three selectable gain settings: 0, +6, -10 dB</li><li>High headroom</li></ul>
A specially designed output stage drives difficult loads (e.g. 
excessively long cables) with no signal degradation. Two sets of 
switches offer a two-step highpass filter, and two gain manipulation 
stages of either –10 dB or +6 dB. Choice of various capsules: CK 61-ULS,  CK 62-ULS,  CK 63-ULS,  CK 69-ULS

The classic edition of the legendary AT4033 microphone, the side-address Audio-Technica AT4033/CL offers low-noise, symmetrical, transformerless circuitry that results in exceptional transient response and clean output signals. A studio classic and bluegrass favorite, the AT4033/CL cardioid studio condenser is the microphone that broke the US$1000-barrier in its class. A strong up-front presence characterizes the sonic signature of this 40 Series pro-audio classic. The AT4033/CL’s 80Hz high-pass filter easily switches between flat frequency response and a low-end roll-off that diminishes ambient noise and popping with closely-miked vocals. Features: 
<ul>
<li>Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients 
</li><li>Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity 
</li><li>The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragm undergoes a five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics achieved remain constant over years of use 
</li><li>Floating-construction capsule assembly provides isolation from noise and vibration 
</li><li>Open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections 
</li><li>State-of-the-art surface-mount electronics ensure compliance with A-T's stringent consistency and reliability standards 
</li><li>Custom shock mount provides superior isolation </li></ul>

This high-quality, universal condenser microphone features an exceptional price/performance ratio.Features of the MC 930 are the wide frequency response of 40 - 20,000 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 71 dB.  The MC 930 is suitable for miking choirs, orchestras and solo instruments. Due to the switchable pre-attenuation of 15 dB it provides excellent performance at high sound pressure levels. The switchable bass roll-off filter with 6 dB/Octave at 250 Hz compensates for proximity effects. With the WS 101 wind screen the MC 930 can be used for vocal applications and speech. The MC 930 is phantom powered (11 - 52 V) and is suitable for live applications and installations. Due to its cardioid polar pattern, the MC 930 has a high-gain-before feedback and eliminates noise from the rear. It is not only a first-class tool for studios, but also for sound contracting systems, where excellent sound and maximum gain-before-feedback is required.

PZM (<A href="http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/mics/136367.pdf">Pressure Zone Microphone</A>) Series are omnidirectional boundary microphones. They can be placed on a large surface such as a table, floor, wall, or lectern. PZMs prevent phase interference from surface reflections, allowing a wide, smooth response. Microphone sensitivity is boosted 6 dB by the surface mounting. 
Crown PZM Series microphones offer serious tools for the sound reinforcement and recording professional, as well as cost-effective solutions for a variety of other needs. As the first licensed manufacturer of the Pressure Recording Process (the foundation of PZM technology), Crown has developed the most successful line of PZM microphones available today.
Crown PZM Series microphones let the user optimally place microphones in the performance venue. Designed for use on flat surfaces, PZMs can be placed where conventional microphones do not work well. Their wide, smooth frequency response makes them ideal for miking pianos, harps and other orchestral instruments. Their small size and low profile also make them an excellent choice for recording projects, conference rooms and security applications.
These technical innovations, combined with numerous others, give Crown a leading edge in bringing high-quality PZM products to the market.

The 3511 is a complete stereo kit for a broad range of recording applications using two 4011 Cardioid Microphones, carefully matched within 1 dB on frequency response, sensitivity and self-noise. These cardioids are exceptionally linear in their frequency response - also off axis, giving you the natural experience. Several standard set-ups such as ORTF and XY are possible. The 4011s handle very high SPL and will therefore allow close placement as well as more distant. Often used for piano recordings of jazz or pop with a placement closer to the hammers or as overheads for drums. 
The kit includes 2 windscreens, 2 very effective shock mounts, a precision-crafted stereo boom for secure mounting of microphone pairs for A-B stereo recordings and a spacer to allow XY or ORTF stereo set-ups on the boom.
Features:
<UL>
<LI>High SPL Capability - 158dB 
<LI>Great for spot-miking on every kind of live music 
<LI>Often used for A-B stereo recordings (pair), close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals
