AKG C451B

Responding to growing demand, AKG decided to make the 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 & high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions.

The 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.

Also available as a matched stereo pair C 451 B/ST with complete accessories in a carrying case (Sound tool case, middle size).
