AKG C151 Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Elevate every performance and recording with the AKG C151 Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone. Bearing the revered AKG badge and the C151, this compact condenser brings flagship clarity, rugged reliability, and environmental responsibility.

Pristine Detail, Wherever You Create

Firstly, the 16 mm electret capsule, tuned in a precision cardioid pattern, captures instruments, vocals, and ambience with natural balance and minimal coloration. Moreover, a wide 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response paired with 143 dB SPL handling preserves the quietest subtleties and the loudest peaks.

Engineered for Silent Strength

Additionally, an optimized, transformerless FET circuit delivers an ultra-low noise floor and a 73 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Thus, ensuring your audience hears the performance, not the electronics. Robust 100 % recycled metal construction keeps the microphone light at 147 g yet ready for the rigors of touring and daily studio sessions.

Seamless Integration & Sustainable Design

Simply connect the balanced 3-pin XLR to any 48 V phantom-powered interface and start creating. Thoughtfully designed packaging and accessory choices reduce environmental impact, reinforcing AKG’s commitment to a greener future.

Whether you’re tracking delicate strings, miking a guitar amp, or broadcasting a live podcast, the AKG C151 sets a new benchmark in professional, planet-friendly audio capture.
