C451B Cardioid Condenser Microphone $579 The C 451 B is an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients such as drums, instruments with a percussive sound, acoustic guitar, or for overhead applications. Responding to growing demand, AKG decided to make the C 451 B with the same acoustic performance as the popular original C 451 EB + CK 1, with dramatically improved specifications. Using an extremely light diaphragm, the new C 451 B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. Other features include an all-metal body for excellent protection from RF interference and high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions. Ultra-smooth response with slight rising on-axis frequency characteristic High front-to-back rejection ratio Transformerless output for low distortion at high operating levels 10 and 20 dB pad Switchable 12-dB roll-off at 75 or 150 Hz The C 451 B is a cardioid only design with a permanently fixed capsule (a departure from the previous modular system). The acoustics of the original cardioid-capsule, CK 1, are modeled and matched in the current version, producing the unique overall rising frequency characteristics. The rise is no more than 3 dB and is broadly centered around 12 kHz. Its transformerless preamp uses surface mount technology and, therefore is lighter, yet more rugged than its predecessor. Switchable 10 and 20 dB pads are now integrated. Maximum sound pressure levels in the range of 155 dB (in the 20 dB sensitivity position) can be attained with no greater than 0.5% distortion. A selectable low frequency, or bass roll-off option, provides 12 dB per octave attenuation below 75 or 150 Hz. The C 451 B, like its predecessor, is most commonly used in studio and tour sound applications such as miking choirs, drums, percussion and acoustic guitars. It operates on all phantom voltages between 9 and 52 volts. The SA 40 stand adapter and W 90 windscreen are included as standard accessories. SPECIFICATIONS |

The acoustics of the original cardioid-capsule, CK 1, are modeled and matched in the current version, producing the unique overall rising frequency characteristics. The rise is no more than 3 dB and is broadly centered around 12 kHz. Its transformerless preamp uses surface mount technology and, therefore is lighter, yet more rugged than its predecessor. Switchable 10 and 20 dB pads are now integrated. Maximum sound pressure levels in the range of 155 dB (in the 20 dB sensitivity position) can be attained with no greater than 0.5% distortion. A selectable low frequency, or bass roll-off option, provides 12 dB per octave attenuation below 75 or 150 Hz. The C 451 B, like its predecessor, is most commonly used in studio and tour sound applications such as miking choirs, drums, percussion and acoustic guitars. It operates on all phantom voltages between 9 and 52 volts. The SA 40 stand adapter and W 90 windscreen are included as standard accessories. SPECIFICA |

C535EB Cardioid Condenser Microphone $299 The lead singers secret weapon! Used by Sting and Billy Joel, The C 535 EB has the clean, open characteristic of AKG's best studio condensers, enhanced by a 2dB rise between 7 and 12kHz to project vocals in front of the mix. An integral four-position switch tailors output level and bass roll-off for a variety of uses. A sharp LF cut at the full output level reduces pops and handling noise in vocal applications, while a more gradual roll-off at the reduced output is ideal for most instrument applications. The C 535 EB requires 9-52V phantom power. |

GLM200 Miniature Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone $249 The GLM-200 is a hypercardioid mic with a low impedance balanced XLR-type output, powered by 12 to 48V phantom power. It offers the quality of large studio microphones, yet is nearly invisible in use. The GLM can be attached to an acoustic guitar, sax, flute or the performer's face to allow freedom of movement. It can be attached to drum rims to pick up a drum set without the unsightly clutter of boom stands. These attachments can be made using the included mounting hardware or tape. Used as a lavalier microphone, or hidden on a film set, the GLM disappears in use yet provides excellent sound quality. The hypercardioid GLM-200 is the best choice if you need rejection of background noise, room acoustics, feedback, and sounds behind the microphone. Made of a rugged, resilient space-age material, the GLMs molded housing is designed to resist damage from demanding professional use. Performance benefits of the GLM include a wide, smooth frequency response; excellent transient response; and minimal off-axis coloration. The GLMs housing is designed to improve the high-frequency response of the microphone capsule. In contrast, the frequency response of large microphone capsules often is degraded by the microphone housing (due to sound diffraction). Included with the GLM-200 are a GLM-UM Universal Mount, a GLM-TB Tie Bar, GLM-BC Belt Clip, and a GLM-WS2 Windscreen. Specifications: Type: Miniature condenser. Element: Electret condenser. Frequency Response: 60 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Polar Pattern: Hypercardioid. Impedance: 100 ohms, balanced. Recommended minimum load impedance 1000 ohms. Open Circuit Sensitivity: 6 mV/Pa* (44.5 dB re 1 volt/Pa*). Power Sensitivity: GLM-200: 40.5 dBm/Pa*. Equivalent Noise Level: 31 dB SPL A-weighted, typical (0 dB = .0002 dyne/cm2). S/N Rati 63 dB at 94 dB SPL. Maximum Sound Pressure Level: 131 dB SPL produces 3% THD.

KMS105 Supercardioid Condenser Microphone $699.95 Designed with superlative vocal reproduction in mind, the KMS105 brings Neumann quality to the demanding sound reinforcement environment. With its super-cardioid polar pattern, low self noise and colorless off-axis pickup, the KMS105 complements in-ear monitor systems. By employing a unique triple acoustic filter, The KMS105 minimizes popping and wind noise, and with special mechanical and electrical filters, handling noise is virtually eliminated. Because of the superior resolution and linear high frequency response, it is very easy for the artist using the KMS105 to identify whether he or she is "on mic". Acoustical features: When compared to other handheld vocal microphones, the KMS105 offers a superior resolution of the voice, with extended frequency response and accurate transient detail. Sibilance problems common to other handheld condenser mics are eliminated. No foam is used in the basket, thus eliminating any "clouding" or "muffling" of the sound. Also, by using a studio grade DC-polarized condenser capsule, all the nuances of the voice come through with subtlety, power and focus. The K55 capsule was developed from the famous K50, found in the KMS150, KM150 and KM185 microphones. This new version features a super-cardioid pattern, achieved by specially modifying the response of the K50 pressure gradient transducer. The frequency response characteristic is developed in the acoustic realm, allowing for accurate representation of transient details found in music and speech, and thus transmitting a very "open" and detailed capture of the human voice. Specifications Type: DC-polarized condenser Acoustical operating principle: Pressure gradient transducer Directional pattern: Super-cardioid Frequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 4.5 mV/Pa Rated impedance: 50 ohms Self Noise: 18 dB-A(DIN/IEC 651) S/N ratio re. 1 Pa @ 1kHz: 76 dB (A weighted) Max SPL for 0.5% THD: 150 dB SPL Total dynamic range of amplifier: 132 dB Powering: 47 volt phantom (IE |
