What I mean is if you stick both the 451's and the DPA or schoeps on a one meter bar or on a jecklin disk and A/B them, the 451's will sound edgy and thin in comparison. I would post some sound files up of an orchestral recording in the coming day's doing just that but fortunately, we sold all but one of our six of 451's we had collected over the years. We kept one for high hat which is about the only instrument it sounds complimentary to over the other mics mentioned. That perceived cut of frequencies around 300-800Hz along with that HF edgyness really works well for many thick HiHats.
