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.

Sorry, typo. Should have been 451 omni.

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

In TV at the time we normally used omnis as hand mics. Not the same sort
of levels of foldback you get these days. An omni is far better for hand
held use - less 'popping' and level changes if it's moved around.

Look for CK22 for that capsule. Built in windshield so small 'in shot'.
