AKG C 451B Mode D'emploi page 13

The C 451B is a condenser microphone and there-
fore needs a power supply.
The microphone provides a balanced output on a
3-pin male XLR connector:
Pin 1: ground
Pin 2: hot
Pin 3: return
You can connect the microphone to balanced
microphone inputs with or without phantom
power. AKG phantom power supplies allow you
to connect the microphone to unbalanced inputs
as well.
1. Use an XLR cable (e.g., the optional MK 9/10
from AKG) to connect the microphone to a
balanced XLR input with phantom power.
2. Switch the phantom power on. (Refer to the in-
struction manual of the unit to which you
connected your C 451B.)
