AKG C214 Condenser Microphone

The AKG C214 Condenser Microphone is designed as an inexpensive alternative to other higher-end AKG Microphones.
The C214 captures sound combining one side of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system and AKG’s patented Back-Plate Technology which results in an outstanding performance.

The AKG C214 is capable of handling the rigors of high sound pressure levels like those you will find when recording guitar amplifiers, while maintaining a sensitivity level perfect for vocals and softer instruments. This microphone boasts a 20 dB Attenuation pad, 13 dB noise floor, and a low cut switch—all in an elegant but rugged package. Besides, the C214 will also work on low phantom power voltages from 12 up to 48 volts.

Available as a Single Microphone or as a Stereo Set Matched Pair.

How is its Tone?
Great! I use two of these as overheads for drums. Just perfect! Sounds great on vocals, too...you just have to take away some of the high end and you're good to go.
