Operating the C 451 B
The AKG C 451 B features switches on its body to adjust its response for various recording situations.
- Жогорку өткөрүүчү чыпка: The microphone includes a switchable high-pass filter (bass cut) with a slope of 12dB/octave. This filter helps to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise such as rumble, stage vibrations, or wind noise.
- Flat (0): No high-pass filtering applied.
- 75 Гц: Engages a high-pass filter at 75 Hz.
- 150 Гц: Engages a high-pass filter at 150 Hz.
- Pre-attenuation Pad: The C 451 B is equipped with a switchable pre-attenuation pad to handle very loud sound sources without overloading the microphone's electronics or the input of your preampөмүрлүү.
- 0 дБ: No attenuation applied.
- -10 дБ: Reduces the microphone's output by 10 dB.
- -20 дБ: Reduces the microphone's output by 20 dB.
Always ensure phantom power is supplied to the microphone for proper operation.

Проблемаларды чечүү
| Көйгөй | Мүмкүн себеп | Чечим |
|---|---|---|
| Үн чыгышы жок | No phantom power; faulty cable; incorrect input selection on mixer/interface. | Ensure 48V phantom power is enabled. Check XLR cable for damage. Verify correct input channel is selected and gain is adjusted. |
| Бурмаланган үн | Input overload (too loud source); pre-attenuation pad not engaged; excessive gain. | Engage the -10 dB or -20 dB pre-attenuation pad. Reduce the gain on your preamplifier or mixer. Move the microphone further from the sound source. |
| Excessive low-frequency noise (rumble) | Stage vibrations; wind noise; proximity effect. | Engage the high-pass filter (75 Hz or 150 Hz). Use a shock mount to isolate vibrations. Use a windscreen for outdoor or windy conditions. |
| Weak or inconsistent signal | Faulty cable; insufficient phantom power; damaged microphone. | Try a different XLR cable. Confirm stable 48V phantom power supply. If issues persist, contact AKG support. |
