The story behind the AKG C214

The AKG C414, on which the C214 is based, has been one of the world's best-known studio microphones since its introduction in 1971. It has played a key role in countless hits and on stages worldwide. The continuous development of the C414 and the demands of professional users have inspired AKG to create an affordable alternative that still retains the essence of the original model. The result is the C214 - a microphone that offers the sound quality and reliability of the C414 at an attractive price.

AKG: Pioneer of microphone technology

AKG is one of the most renowned brands in the world of audio technology. With decades of innovation and an unrivaled reputation for quality, AKG has developed microphones that are appreciated by professionals and amateurs alike. The C214 represents AKG's commitment to making professional quality accessible to a wider audience.

Technology and sound of the AKG C214

At the heart of the C214 is the legendary large diaphragm capsule of the C414, which offers outstanding sound quality. With a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a maximum sound pressure level of 156 dB SPL, the microphone is suitable for both quiet and extremely loud sound sources. The ultra-low noise circuit design guarantees precise and clean recording, while the integrated capsule suspension effectively minimizes structure-borne noise.

The C214 has a 20 dB level reduction switch, which makes it possible to ensure distortion-free recording even with loud sound sources. The bass attenuation switch reduces unwanted low-frequency noises such as impact sound or wind and makes the microphone particularly versatile in various recording environments.

Robustness and stage suitability

The C214 is not only a high-quality studio tool, but is also suitable for live use. The robust die-cast housing with scratch-resistant surface protects the sensitive technology inside, while the double-layer metal grille protects the microphone capsule from electromagnetic interference and mechanical damage. This design makes the microphone ideal for use on stage or on the road.
