Overview
 
AKG C214
 
Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

For recording of lead vocals and solo instruments in studio and on stage
 
The C214 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.
