DESCRIPTION

The AKG C104 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone built for detailed studio and broadcast capture, from close-miked electric guitar cabinets to spoken voice. Its combination of low self-noise and high headroom makes it a practical first condenser for project studios and a dependable utility mic for engineers who need clean, uncoloured results without careful gain management.

The capsule uses a plastic foil diaphragm nickel-sputtered on one side, a construction that prevents shorting to the back electrode even when the microphone is driven at extremely high sound pressure levels. The cardioid pattern gives predictable off-axis rejection for tracking in untreated rooms and for lectern or voice-over work where room reflections and monitor bleed need controlling. Bodies are manufactured from 100% recycled PIR metal, with accessories and fully recyclable packaging engineered to the same sustainability brief.

  • Large-diaphragm cardioid condenser capsule for consistent on-axis detail
  • Nickel-sputtered single-sided diaphragm resists shorting at extreme SPL
  • Handles up to 143 dB SPL without perceptible distortion
  • Extremely low noise floor for quiet sources, whispers and ambient detail
  • Body made from 100% recycled PIR metal with recyclable packaging

Well suited to studio tracking, broadcast and podcast voice, education and corporate AV recording, and rehearsal-room documentation.
