Ideal for a range of instruments, this instrument microphone from AKG offers an extremely accurate signal transfer.

Using an extremely light diaphragm, the C451B instrument microphone fromAKGis almost totally insensitive to handling noise. Features include an all-metal body for excellent protection from RF interference and high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions.

The C451B is an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as drums, instruments with a percussive sound, acoustic guitar, or for overhead miking.
