AKG C214 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Matched Stereo Pair Black

The AKG C214 matched pair is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading C414 family. This microphone uses the same 1" 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 features AKG’s legendary large-diaphragm sound and is capable of incredible 143dB 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 156dB SPL, allowing it to be used on stage for close-up miking for even very loud applications like drum overheads, guitar amps or high-output brass. The result is the highest possible correlation over the microphones entire frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning, three-dimensional recordings. The C214 comes complete with carrying case, windscreen and spider-type shockmount.
