AKG C451 B Matched Pair Reference Small-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone, Set of 2, Satin Nickel

After decades of proven performance, the C451 B Matched Pair Reference Small-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone set, in satin nickel, continues to uphold its reputation as a high-quality, professional audio recording tool. This set includes two identical microphones, each meticulously selected from thousands to ensure a maximum variance of just 1 dB at the frequency response, and identical sensitivity.

These microphones are successors to the legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule, known for its airy sound and high overload limit. They carry forward the legacy with improved engineering details, delivering stunning sound quality with maximum accuracy, reminiscent of the iconic 1969 model.

Designed with the rigors of the recording industry in mind, these microphones feature a roadworthy design built around a handcrafted capsule. The low-noise pre-amp electronics ensure impressive results, even under harsh conditions, making them a standard in tour sound since the 1980s.

The C451 B microphones boast an impressive sound pressure level capability of 155dB SPL, allowing close-miking of high-energy sound sources without distortion. A highly effective high-pass filter with 12dB/octave prevents low-end distortion caused by rumble or wind noise, ensuring clean, clear audio capture.

The transformerless preamp and surface mount technology contribute to extremely low distortion, highest reliability, and less weight. This makes the C451 B Matched Pair Reference Small-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone set an innovative, reliable, and durable choice for professional audio recording in studio settings.
