Professional stage miking
AKG’s legendary C 414 needs no introduction –
it is a tool found in most recording studios
and has been used on thousands of hit records;
it’s been on stage with artists of every musical
genre and is also used by leading broadcast
facilities the world over. The new C 214 is
designed as a cost-effective alternative to the
high-end, industry-leading C 414 family. This
new microphone uses the same 1-inch dual-
capsule as the legendary C 414 in a single-
diaphragm, cardioid-only design. The result
is a class-leading performance close to that
of the famous C414 B-XLS.

The C 214 has AKG’s legendary large-dia-
phragm sound and is capable of incredible
143 dB dynamic range for uncompressed,
life-like transients.
The C 214’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 C 214 can be used in sound fields
as high as 156 dB SPL – so it can be used on
stage for close-up miking for even very loud
applications like drum overheads, guitar amps
or high-output brass.
The C 214 features an integrated capsule
suspension that reduces mechanical noise and
resonances for even greater sonic accuracy.
The double mesh, all-metal grille protects the
capsule and ensures high RF immunity without
affecting acoustical performance. The C 214
has a roadworthy construction quality with a
modern scratch-resistant finish, a dent-resistant,
metal grille and a gold-plated XLR-type output.
The C 214 comes complete with carrying case,
windscreen, and spider-type shock mount.
