AKG C151 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Compact Precision for Detailed Recordings!

The AKG C151 is a professional small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for demanding content creators, musicians and producers. With its precisely tuned cardioid polar pattern, high-quality 16 mm electret capsule and modern transformerless FET circuitry, it delivers a clear, balanced tonal image with high detail resolution.

Whether voice, acoustic instruments or amplified sources, this microphone convinces with transparency, control and reliable performance in almost any recording situation.

Natural Tonal Response and High Detail Resolution

The specially developed small-diaphragm capsule is designed to capture fast transients cleanly and without coloration. That makes the AKG C151 ideal for acoustic guitars, strings, percussion, piano and precise vocal recordings. The linear frequency response from 20 to 20,000 Hz provides natural reproduction without artificial tonal coloring and enables professional results with minimal post-processing.

High Maximum SPL and Minimal Distortion

With a maximum sound pressure level of up to 143 dB SPL, the signal remains clean and controlled even with very loud sources. The high headroom combined with a low self-noise of only 21 dB(A) makes the microphone extremely flexible — from quiet, dynamic passages to loud guitar amps or percussive instruments.

Professional Technology for Modern Production Environments

The transformerless FET circuitry ensures fast transient handling and low-distortion signal transmission. Thanks to standardized 48 V phantom power per IEC 61938, the AKG C151 can be used effortlessly with audio interfaces, mixers and preamps in studio and broadcast settings. The balanced 3-pin XLR connector provides interference-free signal paths even over long cable runs.

Sustainable Design and Robust Construction

The microphone housing is made from 100% recycled PIR metal, combining ecological responsibility with high mechanical stability. Accessories and packaging were also designed with minimal environmental impact in mind and are fully recyclable. That makes the AKG C151 not only a symbol of excellent audio quality but also of contemporary, sustainable product design.

Versatile Applications

Whether music production, podcasting, video blogging, streaming, gaming or broadcasting, the AKG C151 adapts flexibly to a wide range of applications. Its compact form factor, low weight and reliable polar pattern make it an ideal tool for fixed studio installations as well as mobile setups.
