AKG’s C-Series: new professional condenser mics aimed musicians and content creatorsNAMM 2026: AKG has announced its new C-Series of professional condenser microphones, aimed at “today’s musicians and content creators”.
Designed for musicians, podcasters, YouTubers and streamers, the new C-Series comprises three microphone models, the C104, C114 and C151, each with a precision-engineered, transformerless FET circuit for an “ultra-low noise floor and expansive dynamic range”.

Each mic in the series also boasts a broad frequency response, ensuring the “faithful preservation” of a range of sonic elements, from musical instrumental parts and vocals to speech content for podcasts and other content.
In terms of the differences between each of the three mics, the C104 is a large diaphragm cardioid condenser, the C114 is a multi-pattern condenser and the C151 is a small diaphragm cardioid condenser mic.
C-Series mics are designed for seamless setup and ease of use, with a user-friendly design aimed at content creators who simply want to plug in and get recording. 
The series also features sustainability at the heart of its design; with the body of each mic crafted from 100% recycled PIR metal, and each element, from packaging to accessories, “thoughtfully engineered for minimal environmental impact”.

For most content creators, how things look on video is everything, and so AKG has taken care to ensure its new C-Series mics “look as striking on camera as they sound during playback”, incorporating a contemporary aesthetic while paying tribute to its design legacy.
“When we set out to create the new AKG C-Series microphones, our goal was simple: let’s design a mic that creators would reach for every day – not just because it sounds incredible, but because it makes the process easier, smoother, and more inspiring,” says Philip Feinman, Product Manager, Recording and Broadcast at HARMAN Professional Solutions, AKG’s parent company. 
“We listened closely to what musicians and content creators truly need, and we’re proud to deliver a microphone lineup that becomes a natural extension of the creative process.” 
“AKG has a rich tradition in design innovation for microphones, headphones, and audio products,” adds Chris Hansen, Director, Recording and Broadcast at HARMAN.
“Our passion to lead helps drive our efforts to deliver world-class products and solutions for our customers, partners, and the global community of creative artists and individuals.”
