Description
The AKG C214 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone that uses one capsule of the C414 dual-capsule design with AKG backplate technology. It suits studio vocals, instruments and close miking on stage.
An integrated suspension reduces mechanical noise. A switchable 20 dB pad lets it take sources up to 156 dB SPL, and a switchable bass-cut filter controls proximity effect when you work close. The all-metal body rejects RF interference, so it works near transmitters and wireless microphones.
