AKG C 451 B

Great!

Use this mic on hihats for some time now , very clear sound , switches on mic are very usefull.

Build quality is great.

Best value for money

Best value for money small diaphragm condenser on the market. exceptional especially for live sound applications.

good for live, also useful in studio

very easy to use, and with good sound

Good mic for the money

Bought this to record my acoustic guitar. I find the overall build quality and sound quality very good. Obviously don't have set of expensive microphones to compare but based on my experience and also time spent in real life studios, this is more than excellent choice for any home or small size pro studio. No one could tell difference compared to more expensive mics in the recording setup with 2 or more microphones.

Excellent microphone for hi-hats

I?m using this microphhone for my hi-hat and it?s fantastic, highly reccomended.

excellent

I use this mic for recording an acoustic guitar.

The sound is perfect for this price point. Much better than most mics on guitar. Very clear and detailed.

Brilliant mic for acoustic guitar

I use this microphone mainly for my acoustic guitar. It sounds fantastic.

I haven't tried it on anything else yet but I think it would do well as a general purpose instrument microphone. The build quality is nice.

Definitely recommended especially at this price.

If you can not work with this mic, you can not work with any mic

Very universal professional microphone. From Rock to Opera.

Recording and Live.

Not as linear as C480 but still very usable in every situation. Great build quality. Nowdays they are made in Hungary but I can not tell the difference from those who made in Austria. If you can not work with this mic, you can not work with any mic.

Great mic!

Great, legendary microphone for acoustic guitar, overheds and all acoustic instruments.
