Default AKG C451 mics

I think most epeople referred to them as C451 mics but for the record,
it was C451 bodies with CK1 capsules.


** CK1 = basic cardiod capsule.


By far and away the most common combination was a 451 with CK1 capsule -
in Alan's and my side of the industry anyway - so there was no need to
call it anything other than a 451.



** Local jargon.

The handmic version was called a 421 omni.



** Kindly post a link to one of them.

The hand held mic 451 capsule was the CK5 - essentially a CK1 capsule
fully sprung and wind shielded.
