The C214 large-diaphragm condenser microphone is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family. The C214 captures sound by combining a capsule of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system and the patented AKG Back-Plate Technology, resulting in outstanding performance close to the famous C414 XLII.
Realistic stereo recordings require microphones with exceptional performance and outstanding quality. They also require consistent performance and accurate localization from the pair of microphones. That's why each factory-matched pair of C214s is created from thousands of individual microphones selected by AKG's sophisticated computer-aided matching method. The result is the highest possible correlation across the entire frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning, three-dimensional recordings.
