| This version of the C 4000 B has been specifically designed for use in radio newsrooms. This large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed on the basis of experience AKG and its customers have gained worldwide over decades using AKG’s well-known studio microphones. The C 4500 B-BC uses advanced, reliable components to meet the highest professional demands and withstand even long-time, tough handling in the studio. The C 4500 B-BC provides the following features: The diaphragm is made of a plastic foil that is gold-sputtered on one side and prevents local shorts to the back electrode even at extremely high sound pressure levels. A switchable preattenuation pad allows you to increase the maximum SPL capability of your C 4500 B-BC by 20 dB for distortion-free close-in recordings. Many mixing console input stages use small transformers that are susceptible to overload, particularly at low frequencies. The C 4500 B- BC’s pad prevents such overload. A bass cut filter that is switchable on the microphone body reduces low- end distortion due to uncontrolled rumble or wind noise even further. The filter has a 6 dB/octave slope starting at 120 Hz. The all-metal die-cast body shields the microphone very effectively against RF interference when using it near radio transmitters or together with wireless microphones or other communication systems. A dual wire-mesh grille and other design features provide effective pro- tection against electrostatic and electromagnetic interference from the various monitors used in advanced or automatically controlled radio studios. In addition to high sound level capability and minimum distortion as well as temperature and humidity resistant construction, the microphone features a cardioid polar pattern specifically optimized for the kind of close-up usage typical of broadcast work. |
