Product Info

The C 4500 B-BC meets the strictest requirements of digital audio with its ultra-low 8 dB-A self-noise and 145 / 165 dB maximum SPL capability. Its end-address format and its unique acoustical design allow the microphone to be used comfortably for on-air broadcast work and for easy positioning in front of instruments such as bass drum, upright bass, baritone saxophone, guitar amps and other high-output sources. Its patented internal 3-stage filter and very low up-close bass boost allow it to be positioned close to the source to accurately capture every nuance of the sound.

With its superior audio performance, high SPL capability, low proximity effect and insensitivity to RF and electro-magnetic interference, the C4500 B-BC is the perfect tool for broadcast and recording studios. Excellent sound, useful standard accessories and outstanding price/performance makes this large-diaphragm microphone a necessity for every studio.

Already established in the broadcast industry as an outstanding on-air announcer microphone, the C 4500 B-BC is impressing more and more professional musicians as an instrument microphone for onstage and recording use.

The AKG C 4500 B-BC is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone in a class by itself. It is an excellent choice for miking up very loud instruments with minimum distortion and maximum accuracy.

Tests showed that the C 4500 B-BC with its smooth frequency response, high SPL capability, and switchable 20-dB preattenuation pad for extra headroom gives superior results on instruments producing extremely high sound pressure levels, specifically, the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, French horn, as well as guitar and bass amplifiers, kick drum, tom toms, and snare drum.

The sound entry is in line with the main axis of the microphone, making it easier to position the C 4500 B-BC than conventional large-diaphragm condenser microphones whose transducers usually face sideways.

A patented double-layer pop screen inside the body effectively reduces any wind noise that may be produced by the instrument.
