Ultra Linear Performance
The C 460 B is engineered to deliver a flat and natural frequency response across the entire audio spectrum. Its precision pressure gradient transducer ensures faithful reproduction of sound sources, with excellent phase response and tonal accuracy. The result is a microphone that captures the true character of instruments and voices without coloration.
Low Noise And High Dynamic Range
With a very low equivalent noise level and a dynamic range of up to 120 dB, the C 460 B excels in both subtle and high level recording environments. Quiet passages are reproduced with clarity, while loud sources can be handled effortlessly without distortion, even during demanding studio sessions.
Professional Connectivity And Power
The microphone operates using standard phantom power and features a transformer balanced output stage, ensuring compatibility with professional mixing consoles, preamps, and long cable runs without signal degradation. Low current consumption makes it reliable in a wide range of setups.
Robust Construction
Finished in a non reflective black housing with durable chrome plated components, the C 460 B is built for longevity. Gold plated, self cleaning contacts ensure consistent performance over time, even in professional environments with frequent use.
