About this product

Product Information

The C214 professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone offers a supreme one-inch capsule on an integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise. Recording of loud sources of up to 156dB SPL is not a problem thanks to the switchable 20dB attenuation pad. A bass-cut filter allows close-up recording with almost no proximity effect. The C214 combines one capsule of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system with the AKG Back-Plate Technology, resulting in an outstanding performance.

IT'S JUST BRILLIANT
Let's keep this short. I needed a new XLR Microphone for voice-acting. Pro Voice Actor Crispin Freeman recommended this one... So I bought it. With the AKG c214 w/ Stand & Pop Filter I : -Completed my Animation Demo Reel. -Have been cast in several on line voice acting projects. -Completed a documentary for school. (All with clear sounding quality.) This microphone is just 'da bomb; (Lots of other people used it when they auditioned for my friend's project.) Philip A. Jones. Thank You soooo much.

Great value
Being the owner of a Neumann U-67, I am somewhat spoiled. I needed a quick replacement while the 67 went in for service and the price was right on the 214. As session singers on many albums, my partner and I always asked for 414’s on the dates because of the sparkle it gave our stacked harmonies. The 214 sounds a bit “scooped” to my ears and the frequency response chart does show some peakiness at around 12 Kh. Still a very good mic for the price.

Good~!
AKG’s C214 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone that is aimed at the home studio musician. It uses the same capsule as AKG’s C414B microphone – which is often considered a “must-have” mic in top studios – however the cost has been reduced by limiting the microphone to one polar pattern. The C 214 delivers a highly detailed, up-front sound and its cardioid polar pattern makes it a perfect choice for solo vocal and instrumental recordings. The C214 has very low noise and accurately picks up subtle nuances and transients in vocal recordings. It also produces great results on acoustic guitar, producing a bright and articulate sound. It has a low-cut switch that’s effective at removing any excessive bass frequencies. The microphone features a pad switch for recording louder sources and it requires phantom power from a desk or preamp. It comes packaged with a suspension mount and a foam windscreen; all neatly packaged in a metal carrying case. Its single polar pattern makes it less versatile than it’s more expensive sibling the C414. Also some singers may prefer a microphone with more obvious character that will enhance their particular vocal sound. The C214 has a largely neutral frequency response with two subtle high frequency boosts (at 3.5 and 12 kHz); this gives recordings have a little extra punch. As a result, it works well on a wide range of different voices and instruments and, with a max SPL of 156dB, you could even use it to record drums. If you need an all purpose studio microphone that can also produce great sounding vocal recordings then the AKG C214 comes highly recommended.Read full review

Classic AKG sound and quality
AKG has a specific sound, lotta low end with a sizzle on top. This is the classic AKG 414 sound, but it's thicker and gooier than a 414, so it's not as defined. Probably to better match with cheapo mic preamps. Although the original 414 was designed in the tape days, the brightness can still come in handy. Overall I would say this mic is a good and totally suitable choice for anything you will use a cardioid LDC. Like the 414, it just works well on many sources. You just have to tweak your gear more with the less expensive gear, dial things in more, as opposed to the more top of the line stuff where it can be plug and play and good results in more situations with less fine tuning.

Excellent sound. Worth twice as much.
This mic compares very well with famous mics that cost 2 to 3 times as much (you know who you are). It has a very wide, very smooth frequency response. The highs can be sibilant, but not harsh, they just need to be controlled. It has great "air" or breath when recording vocals. Recordings sit very well in mixes. Solid construction, although the shock mount has a funky way of attaching to the mic, which seems a bit precarious.
