AKG C104 – Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Vocals and Instruments
The AKG C104 is a professional condenser microphone featuring a 22 mm electret capsule, designed for demanding studio and live applications. It delivers a natural, detailed sound with excellent clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, it effectively focuses on the sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise, making it an ideal choice for vocal recordings, podcasts, acoustic instruments, and home studio production.
Product Features
22 mm electret condenser capsule ensures a wide frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz and captures subtle nuances with precision and transparency.
Cardioid polar pattern concentrates on sound from the front while reducing pickup from the sides and rear, improving isolation in untreated rooms.
High maximum SPL of 143 dB allows recording of loud sources such as guitar amplifiers and drums without distortion.
Low self-noise of 14 dB(A) guarantees clean and professional recordings, even with quiet vocals or delicate acoustic instruments.
Precision, Dynamics and Professional Studio Performance
With a sensitivity of 13.5 mV/Pa (-37.5 dBV), this microphone captures detailed audio without requiring excessive gain from your preamp. The signal-to-noise ratio of 80 dB/1 Pa ensures clarity and definition in every recording. An output impedance of ≤ 200 ohms provides seamless compatibility with most audio interfaces, mixers, and microphone preamps.
The microphone operates on standard 48 V phantom power (IEC 61938 compliant), ensuring stable and reliable performance in professional recording environments.
Applications
• Studio and home studio vocal recording
• Podcasting and streaming
