Akg C 151
The AKG C151 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed to deliver natural, accurate, and detailed sound reproduction. Thanks to its custom-designed capsule and transformerless FET circuitry, it faithfully captures transients and the most subtle nuances, while maintaining excellent clarity, even at high volume levels.
Capable of handling very high sound pressure levels without distortion, the C151 is equally at home with powerful instruments and more delicate sources. Its wide dynamic range and low noise floor make it a versatile tool for music recording, broadcasting, streaming, and audio and video content creation.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the C151 is made from 100% recycled metals and alloys (PIR), with fully recyclable packaging. It perfectly embodies the balance between AKG's acoustic tradition, modern performance, and a commitment to sustainability.
