AKG C214 Professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone

The C214 professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family. 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.

AKG’s legendary C414 needs no introduction – it is a tool found in most recording studios and has been used on thousands of hit records; it’s been on stage with artists of every musical genre and is also used by leading broadcast facilities the world over.

The new C214 is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading C414 family. This new microphone uses the same 1-inch dual-capsule as the legendary C414 in a single-diaphragm, cardioid-only design. The result is a class-leading performance close to that of the famous C414 B-XLS.

The C214 has AKG’s legendary large-diaphragm sound and is capable of an incredible 143 dB dynamic range for uncompressed, life-like transients. The C214’s edge terminated capsule delivers a highly-detailed, up-front sound that brings out every nuance of any voice or instrument.
Thanks to its switchable 20-dB attenuation pad and low cut filter, the C214 can be used in sound fields as high as 156 dB SPL – so it can be used on stage for close-up miking for even very loud applications like drum overheads, guitar amps or high-output brass.

The C214 features an integrated capsule suspension that reduces mechanical noise and resonances for even greater sonic accuracy.
The double mesh, all-metal grille protects the capsule and ensures high RF immunity without affecting acoustical performance. The C214 has a roadworthy construction quality with a modern scratch-resistant finish, a dent-resistant, metal grille and a gold-plated XLR-type output.
The C214 comes complete with carrying case, windscreen, and spider-type shock mount.
