AKG C214 Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Engineered excellence

The AKG 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.

Features:

• Outstanding dynamic range and ultralow 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 effec
• Integrated suspension - to reduce mechanical noise and vibration from stage
