The AKG C 214 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Introducing the AKG C214, a versatile condenser microphone that works equally well on vocals, amplified guitars and orchestral instruments. Combining the legendary 414 dual capsule system with AKG back plate technology, the C 214 is capable of handling the demands of high pressure sound from loud amplifiers but also has the wide frequency response to enable it to pick up the sensitivity of instrument and vocal sounds. It delivers a solid performance for those looking for a high-quality multi-purpose microphone.

As a member of the acclaimed C414 family, the AKG C 214 has a more punchy delivery and uses a 1-inch edge-terminated large diaphragm capsule to deliver a highly detailed sound. With a huge dynamic range of 143dB, the C214 can accurately capture even the most transient of details. The C214 can be expanded using the pre-attenuation pad to increase its frequency by 20dB for very loud sound sources such as drum kits and guitar kids and this prevents overloading of the preamp. A 13dB noise floor and low-cut switch removes unwanted low frequency rumble such as floor vibrations. Additional features such as integrated suspension, a double mesh grill, gold plated XLR-type output connector and specially designed circuitary all aim to minimise unwanted noise levels.

The AKG C214 is an extremely professional condenser microphone that has the versatility to perform a number of studio functions. Its expert design offers a clear, beefy sound that many professionals argue requires no extra EQ.
