AKG C451B Details
Responding to growing demand, AKG decided to make the AKG C451B with the same acoustic performance as the popular original C451EB + CK1, with dramatically improved specifications. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the new AKG C451B 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 C451B 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.

AKG C451B Features

• Identical acoustics to legendary CK 1
• Precise, nearly frequency independent cardioid
• Extremely accurate signal transfer and ruler-flat on-axis frequency response
• Also available as a matched stereo pair
