DESCRIPTION

The AKG C451B-ST is a factory-matched pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones supplied for stereo work, giving engineers two capsules with closely aligned sensitivity and response for predictable imaging. It suits recording engineers, live sound operators and installers who need a reliable, detailed reference microphone for instruments and ensembles.

The C451 B is a transformerless condenser with a fixed cardioid capsule, a fast transient response and a presence lift that keeps cymbals, strings and percussion articulate in a dense mix. Switchable attenuation and bass-cut filters let one microphone cover close-miked drums and distant ambience without outboard processing, and the all-metal body stands up to daily use on stands, booms and overhead bars.

  • Matched pair with sensitivity matched to within 1 dB for accurate stereo imaging
  • Cardioid polar pattern with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range
  • Switchable pre-attenuation pads at −10 dB and −20 dB
  • Switchable bass-cut filters at 75 Hz and 150 Hz for proximity and rumble control
  • Handles up to 155 dB SPL with the pad engaged; operates on 9 to 52 V phantom power

Well suited to studio recording, drum overheads and acoustic instruments, broadcast, theatre, houses of worship and live events where consistent stereo capture matters.
