Manufacturer: AKG - sound expertise with tradition

When developing the C104, AKG drew on proven audio technology as well as modern requirements for sustainability and digital content. The result is a product that is tailored to the needs of today's users in every detail.

Technical details: What makes the AKG C104 so special

Inside the AKG C104 cardioid diaphragm condenser microphone is a high-quality 22 mm electret condenser capsule that ensures precise sound reproduction. Thanks to the cardioid polar pattern, background noise is effectively suppressed - ideal for recordings in environments that are not completely soundproofed.

The diaphragm is equipped with a nickel-sputtered plastic foil, which guarantees stable performance even at very high sound pressure levels. This means that the sound always remains clear and distortion-free, even with loud signal sources such as guitar amplifiers or powerful vocal recordings.

With a maximum sound pressure level of 143 dB and extremely low self-noise of just 14 dB(A), the microphone boasts an impressive dynamic range. Even the finest nuances and quietest details are captured cleanly - a must for professional studio and voice recordings.

The transformerless FET circuit ensures particularly clean signal transmission without disruptive artifacts. Combined with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the C104 offers outstanding sound fidelity, regardless of whether you are recording music, speech or atmospheres.

The microphone also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of connectivity: The 3-pin XLR connection ensures a reliable connection to any professional audio interface or mixing console. Power is supplied via 48V phantom power in accordance with the IEC 61938 standard - absolutely compatible with common studio technology.
