This little c451B is a great microphone! This is a condensor microphone manufactured by audio well knowns AKG, who also make microphones such as the C1000s and the D112!
These are sold separately or also now sold as a stereo pair for when recording ensembles for example! I personally use them in stereo pairs as overhead microphones when recording drums and they sound great!
The frequency range of the microphone is exactly the rough range of human hearing which is 20HZ to 20KHz, so it can pick up all of the frequencies we hear to give it a varied range in what it can be used for!
The microphone, just like most other condensor microphones, requires phantom power of around 48v to power it but this is standard in applications now and youll probably find that your sound card for example will offer this power to the microphone when turned on!
It features quite a focused pickup pattern which maeks it very reliable from picking up certain sounds within an ensemble for example, however as i mentioned before they can now also be purchased in a stereo pair in which two of the microphones can be placed together at 45 degrees to each other to give a much wider pickup pattern while still maintaining the quality that they offer!
For performances in which other unwanted frequencies in the low end may occur (low rumble off mic stand when recording vocals for example) the microphone has an in built bass roll of switch to 75 or 100 Hz as depicted by the user.
This microphone is a very reasonably priced one in its field and the sound quality is fantastic, these have many uses whether it be live or in the studio and are a very versatile bit of kit to have onboard!
Worth a try and you wont be unhappy with the results!
Precise artistic work deserves precise artistic craftsmanship. A classic by now, the CMS Series CK 1 capsule from AKG was a best seller from the moment it was launched in 1969. Comprising a range of interchangeable capsules and preamps as well as then innovative, dedicated accessories, the CMS Series from AKG quickly became a legend. It was discontinued in 1993. Responding to growing demand from recording engineers, AKG decided to produce the C 451 B with identical acoustical behaviour of the popular original C 451 EB + CK 1 microphone again, with dramatically improved specifications and outstanding price/ performance. The capsule of the new version is fixed permanently to the preamp to eliminate the mechanical problems of the screw joint. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the new C 451 B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. An all-metal body provides excellent protection from RF interference and the microphone is rugged enough to give excellent results even under very harsh conditions. The C 451 B is an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as drums, overhead miking, or other instruments with a percussive sound. The airy sound, high overload limit of the capsule and electronic circuitry, and improved engineering details of the C 451 B are a solid foundation for creating another legend. Features: Identical acoustics of the legendary CK 1. Rugged construction. Ruler-flat on-axis frequency response. Precise, nearly frequency independent cardioid. Extremely accurate signal transfer. Transformerless output stage for minimum distortion at low frequencies. Protected against electrostatic and magnetic interference. Selectable 10-dB and 20-dB preattenuation pads. Switchable highpass filter (75 Hz or 150 Hz, 12dB/octave). Operates on phantom power to DIN/IEC between 12 V and 48 V. Complete with SA 40 stand adapter and W 90 windscreen. Each microphone comes with its own individual frequency
