C451 B - Overview

One for the road
The AKG C451 B is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone with the identical acoustical behavior of its predecessor, the legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule, which was a bestseller right from the start in 1969.

With its airy sound, high overload limit and improved engineering details, the C451 B continues the success story of this legend. The roadworthy design around the handcrafted capsule and the low-noise preamp electronics ensure impressive results even under very harsh conditions.

  • Features:

    • Sound of legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule from 1969 - delivers stunning sound quality with maximum accuracy
    • Established tour sound standard since the 1980's - for excellent sound quality even under harsh on-stage conditions
    • Impressive sound pressure level capability of 155dB SPL - allows close-miking of high-energy sound sources without distortion
    • Highly effective high-pass filter with 12dB/octave - prevents low-end distortion caused by rumble or wind noise
    • Transformerless preamp and surface mount technology - provides extremely low distortion, highest reliability and less weight
