AKG C 451 B Reference Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone,Nickel,C451B

Wow! Can’t understand why.. but I got this for almost less than half of msrp. Thought it might be fake but it is authentic new AKG product. Amazing deal. The big Audio AV retailers have got to be kicking dirt over this. However, the low price I paid is no where to be found on line now......Gonna stop now and count the blessing and good luck

I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. I've owned several microphones for bass vocals, and this is by far my favorite!!! In fact I just sold some of my previous mics, as this one gets the job done.Glad I bought it. And your price was much better than several others. Thanks!

I bought this to record acoustic guitars. It works very well for that application. The bass cut is useful and it is easy to get good sounds at either the neck or body.

IMHO easily the best small diaphragm condenser mic at this price point.

I have other SDCs including KM184s, KSM141, LA120s, etc. This C451B sounds clear, smooth, warm, open and natural; but its self-noise of 18 dBA is noticeable. Well made in Hungary. Also, price seems a bit high.

one of the best condensers on the market, was shipped fast to me as well.

solid. If you know why you are buying these, you don't really need the review.

Definitely had been opened, box very beat up. Questionable whether it is even authentic. I have several others I need to check it against. Packaged poorly. Original lit not with it.
