The AKG C 451 EB is a modular small-diaphragm condenser microphone, introduced in the 1970s and widely used in studio and live sound applications. It features a detachable capsule system, most commonly paired with the CK1 cardioid capsule.
Key Features:
- Interchangeable capsule design – allows swapping different AKG CK-series capsules.
- Bright, detailed sound – known for its crisp highs and fast transient response.
- Low self-noise and high SPL handling – ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitars, and hi-hats.
- Phantom-powered – typically 9-48V.
- Switchable high-pass filter – reduces low-end rumble.
The C 451 EB became a studio staple, praised for its natural, airy sound and durability. Though discontinued, it remains highly sought after, with AKG later releasing the C 451 B as a modern successor.
