AKG C214 Professional Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

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

Like the AKG 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.

Like the C 414 models, the C 214 is capable of handling the rigours of high-pressure sound such as amplified guitars, with a sensitivity perfect for voice and orchestral instruments as well.

Additionally, the microphone offers a 20 dB Attenuation pad, 13 dB noise floor, and a low cut switch—all in an elegant but rugged package. Besides, the C 214 will also work on low phantom power voltages from 12 up to 48 volts.

Additional features include an integrated suspension, a double mesh grill high RF immunity without affecting acoustics.

The circuitry in the C 214 provides maximum SPL capability with minimum noise and the gold-plated XLR-type output connector offers loss-free signals.

Features:

• Sonic character of the C414 XLII - for beautifully detailed recording of lead vocals and solo instruments
• Outstanding dynamic range and ultra low noise - for close-up recording of high-output sources of up to 156dB SPL
• Switchable 20dB attenuator and bass-cut filter - for close-up recording and reduction of proximity effect
• Integrated suspension - to reduce mechanical noise and vibration from stage.
• Roadworthy design - all-metal die-cast body with shock- and scratch-resistant finish
