Podcasters, YouTubers, Streamers. Look, and image are important, but you need to sound great too! That's why AKG created its C-Series condenser microphones. Vocals, instruments, podcasts, streaming content, or all of the above, C-Series mics capture everything from a whisper to a scream with no noise and signature AKG quality. Every detail is secured, every nuance preserved, to make your content sound as good as it looks.

Oh, they also look great too! A sleek, modern aesthetic with a nod to AKG’s iconic heritage, the C-Series looks stunning on camera while performing flawlessly behind the scenes. Sustainability is at the heart of the design, featuring 100% recycled metals and eco-conscious packaging. Easy to integrate into any rig, these mics combine simplicity with sophistication to set the new standard for cost-effective, studio-grade audio capture that puts your content out in front, where it belongs.

The small diaphragm C151 captures the truth. Its 16mm diaphragm reacts with lightning quickness to transients, the fast-moving, high-frequency content that makes it possible for our ears to define a sound's character. They help us tell the difference between the same note from a piccolo, a flute, or a guitar, and this mic is a truth-teller. The C151 excels on acoustic guitars, mandolins, or other acoustic stringed instruments, and a pair 9sold separately) will return striking drum overhead and room tracks that will make your mixes come alive. It may be small, but with a 147 dB max SPL rating, it fears nothing.
