Its custom 16mm electret capsule and transformerless FET circuit deliver exceptional transient accuracy with ultra-low noise. Ideal for drum overheads, acoustic instruments, and vocals, the C151 captures pristine, uncoloured sound with 143dB SPL headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact, lightweight design fits tight spaces, while its sustainable construction uses 100% recycled metals.

This delivers exceptionally fast, accurate transient response - plucked strings, fingerpicked guitars, and cymbal shimmer are reproduced with lifelike precision. The result is an honest, articulate character that serves as a blank canvas for your mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensational Headroom for Explosive Performances\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite its delicate and articulate presentation on quiet sources, the C151 is highly robust. It boasts an incredible maximum sound pressure level handling of 143dB SPL (at 0.5% THD), enabling it to capture extremely loud acoustic sources without introducing audible distortion. From the cracking snap of a snare drum top to the raw power of a wind ensemble or a dimed electric guitar amplifier, this pencil condenser maintains its composure, dynamic range, and tonal balance under the heaviest sound pressure levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEco-Conscious Austrian Acoustic Legacy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned as an accessible, high-performance alternative to the legendary C451 B, the C151 introduces sustainable modern engineering into the professional studio environment. The rugged, road-ready cylindrical body is crafted from 100% recycled post-industrial recycled (PIR) metals and alloys. This sustainable approach extends to every accessory and fully recyclable packaging component, proving that world-class acoustic design can exist alongside a commitment to reducing environmental waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional-grade small-diaphragm pencil condenser microphone optimized for instruments and ambient recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom-engineered 16mm electret capsule delivering natural, clean sound for high-transient sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly focused cardioid polar pattern for superb off-axis rejection and isolation of target sound sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh headroom capability handling up to 143dB SPL without perceptible distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced transformerless FET circuit design ensuring a wide dynamic range and low noise floor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced 3-pin XLR output connection for reliable, professional-grade signal transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged, professional chassis constructed entirely from 100% recycled PIR metals and alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely compact, lightweight end-address design allowing effortless positioning in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires standard 48V phantom power to drive the internal ultra-sensitive preamplifier circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied complete with a heavy-duty H82 stand adapter clip and a concise quick-start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e1 x C151 Condenser Microphone\u003cbr\u003e1 x H82 Microphone Clip\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16mm Electret Condenser Diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 mV\/Pa (-39 dBV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Input SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 143 dB SPL (for 0.5% THD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73 dB referenced to 1 Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Self-Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 dB(A) SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤ 200 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Load Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥ 1000 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhantom Power Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48V Phantom Power (±4V, IEC 61938)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤ 5 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced 3-Pin XLR (Male, Pin 2 Hot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 mm (diameter) x 140 mm (length)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 147 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover AKG C151 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.akg.com\/C151-.html\" title=\"Discover AKG Professional Audio Solutions\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.akg.com\/C151-.html\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AKG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51421671981092,"sku":"ADSRS: AKGP-C151","price":2595.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/8294\/files\/ADSRS_AKGP-C151img00.png?v=1788894534","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosaurus.co.za\/products\/akg-c151-small-diaphragm-cardioid-condenser-microphone","provider":"Audiosaurus ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
