I sell two vintage microphones, C451E & CK1 combinations, in matt black finish (a bit faded with age). Price is per mic.

These are classic 70s true condenser microphones, of the CMS type (Condenser Modular Series) where the capsule can be unscrewed and swapped, and are E bodies with XLR output connector. They are phantom 48V powered, with discrete transistor and transformer electronics. Both mics sound very close so can be used as a stereo pair.

They have been known for their extended frequency response and a high acoustic headroom up to 120dB SPL. They can be used in many contexts, notably drums & percussion, electric guitar, piano or acoustic guitar, but can also be used for vocals or brass instruments, but with a proper pop screen or windshield.
Not to be confused with the more recent model, the C451B, with modern electronics and transformerless design
I also sell in a separate ad two vintage S18/1B clips adapted to C451/452/391 (18-19mm)
Bundle price to be discussed
