AKG C4500 BC Large diaphragm low proximity effect microphone for studio & broadcasting. Black
IN THE FACE
for live broadcast work and close miking of loud sound sources
The C4500 BC large-diaphragm condenser microphone in front-addressed format is specially designed for on-air broadcast work. It provides a cardioid pickup with voice-friendly tuning and a low proximity effect, as well as high RF/EMI insensitivity. The exceptional low self-noise (8dB-A) and its 165dB maximum SPL capability also make the C4500 BC a great tool for close-miking of loud instruments like bass drums, brass instruments and guitar amps.
The C4500 BC comes complete with an H85 spider-type shock mount and the W4000 windscreen.
