Introducing the AKG C214 large-diaphragm condenser microphone
The AKG C214 is an industry leading diaphragm condenser microphone for miking acoustic instruments, predominantly in the studio but also suited for on-stage miking. They are a permanent fixture in recording studios around the world and are a well respected microphone for broadcasting too. Cost-effective, this microphone offers a fantastic alternative to the more expensive C414 family. Like the C4141, the C214 offers a supreme one-inch capsule on an integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise.
Fantastic features
A switchable 20dB attenuation pad allows recording of loud sources of up to 156dB SPL. A switchable bass-cut filter allows close-up recording with almost no proximity effect. The C214 captures sound by combining one capsule of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system and the patented AKG Back-Plate Technology, resulting in an outstanding performance close to the famous C414 XLII.
