<SPAN class=h4>Return Of An AKG Masterpiece !</SPAN><BR><A name=description></A>AKG's C451 was one of the all-time great studio condenser microphones. Though the original C451 mic ended production many years ago, it's still an extremely popular staple in studios all over the world.<BR><BR>One of its most common applications is for drum overheads, and many engineers say there's nothing quite like it for mic'ing 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 capsule, the new C451B is incredibly precise and accurate.<BR><BR>The capsule is permanently fixed to the preamp to increase overall stability under mechanical stress. It includes a switchable preattenuation pad to increase the mic's SPL capability. A switchable highpass filter at 75 Hz or 150 Hz prevents low-end distortion, while the C451B's all metal body provides excellent protection from RF interference. This microphone makes a great addition to any professional studio or recording set-up. AKG C 451 B Small Diaphragm Microphone ...
