Large diaphragm – big sound
A large-diaphragm microphone forms the foundation of any studio setup, offering a versatile solution for recording vocals, electric or acoustic guitars, percussion, or drums. Its proximity effect adds ever more depth and brilliance the closer you get to the mic, creating that signature ‘radio voice’ for speakers and adding shimmering highs for singers, which is why microphones like the SC 450 are the go-to choice for these applications.
Versatility is key
Thanks to its linear frequency response, the SC 450 is well-suited for both music and speech recording, offering clarity and balance across applications. A built-in low-cut switch at 100Hz helps eliminate background noise like footfall or air movement before it reaches the recording, while the included shock mount prevents unwanted vibrations from being transmitted to the microphone. Perfect for beginners entering the world of home recording, the microphone also serves as a reliable second mic in more advanced studio setups, and when used in pairs, two SC 450s perform excellently as stereo overheads for capturing drums or piano.
