C451 B
REFERENCE SMALL-DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE
The 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.
