The AKG C451 has been a bestseller since its introduction in 1969. This legendary small-diaphragm condenser delivers stunning sound with maximum accuracy. To the disappointment of many top recording engineers, the original C451 was discontinued long ago, but AKG has revived this classic mic with the C451 B, a direct descendent of the original version with the identical acoustical properties of its predecessor.

The C451 B has an airy sound with a high overload limit and improved engineering details that continue the legacy of this legendary microphone. The impressive sound pressure level of 155dB SPL allows the mic to be positioned close to high-energy sound sources without distortion, making it ideal for drums, guitar cabinets and other loud signals.
