AKG’s legendary C414 needs no introduction – it is a tool found in most recording studios and has been used on thousands of hit records; it’s been on stage with
artists of every musical genre and is also used by leading broadcast facilities the world over.
The new C214 Matched Pair is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading C414 family. This new microphone uses the same 1-inch
dual-capsule as the legendary C414 in a single-diaphragm, cardioid-only design. The result is a class-leading performance close to that of the famous C414
B-XLS.
The C214 Matched Pair has AKG’s legendary large-diaphragm sound and is capable of incredible 143 dB dynamic range for uncompressed, life-like transients. The
C214’s edge-terminated capsule delivers a highly-detailed, up-front sound that brings out every nuance of any voice or instrument. Thanks to its switchable 20-dB
attenuation pad and low cut filter, the C214 can be used in sound fields as high as 156 dB SPL – so it can be used on stage for close-up miking for even very loud
applications like drum overheads, guitar amps or high-output brass.
The C214 Matched Pair realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance
and excellent quality. They also require consistent performance and accurate localization from the pair
of microphones. Therefore, every factory-matched pair of C214s is created from thousands of individual
microphones selected by AKG’s sophisticated computer-aided matching method. The result is the highest
possible correlation over the microphones entire frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for
stunning, three dimensional recordings.
The C214 features an integrated capsule suspension that reduces mechanical noise and resonances for even
greater sonic accuracy. The double mesh, all-metal grille protects the capsule and ensures high RF immunity
without affecting acoustical performance. The C214 has a roadworthy construction quality with a modern
scratch-resistant finish, a dent-resistant, metal grille and a gold-plated XLR-type output.
The C214 comes complete with carrying case, windscreen, and spider-type shock mount
artists of every musical genre and is also used by leading broadcast facilities the world over.
