AKG Acoustics, U.S.
Large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone with switchable 20-dB attenuation and bass roll-off filter
The AKG C 214 was designed as a budget-friendly alternative to the legnedary, industry-standard C 414 microphone for use in recording or for live-sound applications. Using the same edge-terminated, 1-inch large diaphragm as the C414B/XLS, the C 214 has the beautifully-detailed
, up-front sonic signature that has made the C414 a first choice of leading engineers for over 35 years. The C 214's cardioid pickup, switchable 20-dB attenuation and bass roll-off filters make it usable for a number of applications requiring the utmost sonic performance. The mic's well-designed output circuitry is transformerless for high headroom and low distortion. The C 214 comes equipped with an H 85 spider-type shock mount, a W 414X windscreen, and a metal carrying case.
The same edge-terminated diaphragm as the leading-edge C 414B/XLS delivers a beautifully-detailed
, up-front sound quality that works well for vocal or instrument applications
Outstanding 143 dB dynamic range for uncompressed, like-like transient response to accurately capture the nuances of any source
156 dB maximum SPL capability for use on guitar amps, drum overheads, brass instruments, etc. without problems
Elastically-suspende
d capsule greatly minimizes mechanically-induced noise and vibration that could color the sound
Switchable 160-Hz, 6-dB-per-octave bass roll-off filter helps minimize wind and LF noise
Switchable 20-dB attenuation switch for use on high-SPL sources
Cardioid pickup pattern minimizes off-axis noise
Transformerless output ensures warm sound quality and low distortion
Rugged, scratch-resistant finish
C 214 kit includes spider-type shock mount, windscreen and metal carrying case
Designed, engineered and built in Vienna, Austria and backed by a three-year parts and labor warranty
