The C214 professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family. The C214 has fast become a favourite for vocals, guitar cabinets, drum overheads and orchestral work both in the studio and live on stage. for instruments.
Like the C414, the C214 offers a supreme one-inch capsule on an integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise. 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.
