Product Description
Realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance and excellent quality. It also requires performance consistency and accurate localization from the pair of microphones. Therefore, every factory-matched pair of C 214’s is created from thousands of individual microphones selected by AKG's sophisticated computer-aided matching method and the result is the highest possible correlation over the whole frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning, three-dimensional recordings.
The C 214 uses the cardioid-only version of the legendary C 414 large diaphragm microphone which has been awarded several times and used on thousands of hit records. Since its introduction in 1971 it has been on stage with artists of every musical genre and is also used by leading broadcast facilities the world over.
The new C 214 captures sound combining one side of the legendary C 414 dual-capsule system which results in an cardioid-only design with an outstanding performance close to the famous C 414. The Ultra-Low Noise electronics are capable of handling up to 156 dB SPL but also enable for voice and orchestral instruments as well thanks to a low noise floor. Besides, the C 214 will also work on low phantom power voltages from 12 up to 48 volts.
Additional features include an integrated suspension, a 20 dB attenuation pad and a low cut filter. The C 214 stereo set comes complete with two spider-type shock mounts, two stand adapters, two windsocks, a stereo pair certificate and a rugged metal carying case.
