Why We Love This Product!

This Little Mic Has a HUGE Following!

What can we say? Some microphones... like talent... just "have it." And the AKG C 451 B is one of those microphones. And your talent is going to love it. This is the reborn version of the original C 451 — an ENORMOUSLY popular studio microphone. With a pair of these babies, you're gonna be set. You've never heard acoustic guitar with so much clarity, detail, and air. Awesome, awesome stuff. But it's way more versatile than that. A standout choice for overheads. People use a pair of C451 B mics on grand piano and RAVE about it. Heck, these babies even sound great on choirs. There's just something precise and natural yet "classic" about its performance. Man, we could gush on about it. But we're pretty positive you'll get a C 451 B in your hands and start doing the same thing. Seriously. Start reading reviews about the old C 451 and the picture will get clearer. The is sonically IDENTICAL to that mic of lore, just with an improved design so handling noise isn't an issue and RF interference won't plague your perfect recordings.
