AKG C214 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Professional Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with 143dB Dynamic Range, Switchable 20dB Attenuation, and Low-Cut Filter. The C214 professional 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. Features: Cost-effective alternative to the C414 family Same capsule as C414 B-XLS in a single-diaphragm, cardioid-only design Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of stage bleed and room ambience 143 dB dynamic range (pad on) 156
