Classic AKG performance
This matched set of rugged AKG C451 B condenser microphones lets you capture amazingly accurate sound under less-than-ideal live performance conditions. These small-diaphragm mics are great for drums, percussion, acoustic guitar, and strings. Each mic offers the same sonic performance as AKG's legendary C451 EB + CK1 capsule, a favorite with recording engineers and sound men since 1969.
The C451 B features a high overload limit and durable construction designed for rough handling. Its sound pressure level capability of 155dB SPL ensures you can close-mike high-energy sound sources — like drums or amps. And yet it's equally effective with acoustic guitar and strings. AKG's transformerless preamp minimizes distortion. And the mic's switchable high-pass filter effectively gets rid of unwanted rumble and wind noise.
These AKG C415 Bs come with two stand adapters and windscreens, as well; as a stereo mounting bar for X/Y recording. And you can carry it all in the foam-padded aluminum carry case.
