Production Status: In production
The C 451 B is an updated version of the classic C 451 introduced in 1969 with the same acoustic properties as the original CK1 capsule. The capsule of the new version is fixed permanently to the preamp to eliminate the mechanical problems of the screw joint. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the new C 451 B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. An all-metal body provides excellent protection from RF interference and the microphone is rugged enough to give excellent results even under very harsh conditions. The C-452EB is identical but for P48 only.
