OVERVIEW

An affordable condenser that can handle high SPLs.

AKG's C414 microphones are already a permanent fixture in the world's biggest recording studios, and are a highly respected workhorse for independent artists, broadcasting and onstage miking as well.

This C214 is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family. It captures sound combining one side of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system and AKG's patented Back-Plate Technology, which results in an outstanding performance very close to the famous C414 B-XLS.

Like the C414 models, the C214 is capable of handling the rigors of high-pressure sound, such as amplified guitars, with a sensitivity perfect for voice and orchestral instruments as well. Additionally, the microphone offers a 20dB Attenuation pad, 13dB noise floor and a low-cut switch—all in an elegant, but rugged package.

Additional features include an integrated suspension and a double-mesh grille high RF immunity without affecting acoustics. The circuitry in the C214 provides maximum SPL capability with minimum noise, and the gold-plated XLR-type output connector offers loss-free signals.

The C214 comes complete with carrying case, windscreen and spider suspension mount included.

FEATURES
  • AKG's legendary 1" edge-terminated large-diaphragm sound
  • Outstanding dynamic range (up to 156dB SPL, ultralow noise)
  • Roadworthy design
  • Integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise
  • Switchable 20dB attenuation pad and low-cut switch

  • Spider-type shockmount included
  • Metal carrying case included
  • Designed, engineered and built in Vienna, Austria
