2.5 SummaryThe C 451B is an updated rerun of a classic AKG condenser mi-
crophone, the C 451 EB + CK 1. The new C 451B, however,
uses a fixed capsule to eliminate the mechanical problems of
the original modular design. The microphone is the perfect
choice for any application where sounds, particularly their tran-
sient content, need to be captured with maximum accuracy.
Owing to its extremely light diaphragm, the microphone is
highly insensitive to handling noise. An all-metal body provides
efficient protection from RF interference and the microphone is
rugged enough to give excellent results even under very harsh
conditions.
A switchable 10-dB/20-dB preattenuation pad increases the
microphone's SPL capability when close-miking high-energy
sound sources or driv ing preamps or mixers with limited head-
room.
A switchable highpass filter at 75 Hz or 150 Hz helps minimize
low-end distortion that may be caused, e.g., by rumble or wind
noise. The slope of the filter is approx. 12 dB/octave and its cor-
ner frequency (3 dB down point) is selectable at 75 Hz or 150 Hz.
