You can record everything with this microphone. It is a claret and a great precision and performs as well on almost all types of voices, the acoustic guitars, also on lctriques as reinforcements for the brightness of the rope on Wind instruments that do not too dgagent sound pressure level (cap sensitive), on ropes, a snare and also overhead on a battery. In conclusion, the 451 (the 451-BC-EB) are microphones do everything but not the cheap microphones because of their high quality trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this mic for over 17 years and I achte whenever I get the chance. I am in love with his tone and finesse. Sometimes it is very practical for example when my U 87 is a little soft ... As you can see, my 451 battery never leaves me when I'm recording.
PS: Shoeps, Sennheiser and Neumann microphones are also good ...
