“An Ideal Option for Podcasters, Streamers, and Music Enthusiasts: Review of AKG C-Series Microphones”]

AKG is responsible for some of the most popular and iconic microphones in recording history, and continues to manufacture classics such as the C414 condenser, alongside more affordable options such as the C3000. Its latest venture is the new C-Series. This offers their famous styling at an even more affordable price point, bringing AKG to an even wider user base.

The range includes three studio condenser mics – two larger diaphragm side address models (C104 and C114) and one end address pencil style model (C151) – and we have all three up on the test bench. Key design features to note include mic bodies made from recycled metal and the use of recycled pulp and other sustainable materials for the retail box. Indeed, for all three mics, the retail box also doubles as the storage box, with no further storage pouch included. As you would expect from AKG, the finish of each mic is excellent, and particularly good for this price point.
