AKG Introduces New C-Series Professional Condenser Microphones
Built for modern creators in Malaysia—musicians, podcasters, YouTubers, streamers, and home studios—AKG’s new C-Series delivers signature clarity, low noise performance, and easy workflow integration.
The new lineup includes two large diaphragm condenser options (cardioid + multi-pattern) and one small diaphragm pencil condenser, covering vocals, speech, and detailed instrument capture.
What’s New in the AKG C-Series
The AKG C-Series microphones are designed around a precision-engineered, transformerless FET circuit for an ultra-low noise floor, wide dynamic range, and a broad frequency response. That means cleaner recordings, more detail, and professional results across different rooms and setups.
With a refreshed aesthetic that nods to AKG’s iconic legacy, these mics also look great on camera—perfect for livestreaming, podcast video, and creator content. They’re made to slot into today’s workflow with minimal fuss: connect to your audio interface, set your gain, and record with confidence.

For Creators & Studios in Malaysia
Whether you’re recording from a bedroom studio, a small production room, a rehearsal space, or a dedicated content setup, mic selection matters. The AKG C-Series is built to help Malaysian creators achieve clearer speech, tighter vocals, and more natural instrument tone—especially when paired with a quality audio interface, proper mic placement, and basic acoustic control.
Tip: For podcasting and streaming, keep the mic close (10–15 cm) and use a pop filter. For acoustic instruments, experiment with placement to balance clarity and body.
