AKG C451 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The AKG C451 B is a reference-grade small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that traces its lineage to the legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule, a studio bestseller since 1969. Faithfully re-engineered for the modern era, the C451 B preserves the identical acoustical behavior of the original while updating the electronics for lower noise and tighter component tolerances. A switchable -10 dB / -20 dB pre-attenuation pad and switchable 75 Hz / 150 Hz bass-cut filter let engineers handle everything from intimate acoustic guitar to close-mic'd snare drums and brass without overloading the preamp. All-metal construction and the brand's transformerless circuit deliver the airy, transient-accurate top end that has made the C451 a permanent fixture in orchestral, jazz, and rock production for over half a century. A serious studio standard at a serious investment.
