AKG C214 Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Engineered Excellence
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.

Features include:

• Sonic Character of the C414 XLII: For beautifully detailed recording of lead vocals and solo instruments
• 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 effect
