From AKG—makers of high-grade professional microphones and headphones—come three new condenser microphones. Delivering clear capture via transformerless FET circuitry, a low-noise design, and high-SPL handling, they shine across a wide range of applications, from streaming and podcasts to studio recording and broadcast.
C104 is a cardioid condenser microphone with a 22 mm large-diaphragm capsule. Its precise cardioid capsule and optimized transformerless FET circuit render vocal and narration detail—down to breath nuances—with clarity. With a high-headroom design supporting a maximum SPL of 143 dB, it handles high-level sources and wide dynamics with stability. Ideal for quality-focused recording in streaming, podcasts, and video production.
C114 is a multi-pattern condenser microphone featuring a 26 mm large diaphragm in a dual-diaphragm configuration. You can switch among cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional patterns, flexibly covering vocal work, acoustic instruments, and room-mic duties. Its edge-terminated capsule, carrying forward the design philosophy of AKG classics like the C12 and C414, achieves silky highs and a well-balanced tone. With maximum SPL handling up to 145 dB, it excels in diverse recording environments.
C151 is a cardioid condenser microphone equipped with a 16 mm small-diaphragm capsule. The small-diameter capsule is tuned to naturally capture fast-transient sources, delivering crisp, vivid detail. With a high-headroom design supporting up to 147 dB SPL, it covers everything from the delicate nuances of acoustic instruments and percussion to loud sources such as guitar amps.
