The C214 by AKG is a cost-conscious alternative to the C414 family of microphones. It features a single cardioid response pattern rather than the 414’s nine selectable patterns, and a single 20-decibel attenuation pad and bass roll-off switch rather than the 414’s three selectable roll-off and attenuation options.
The C214 captures sound by using one capsule of the C414 dual-capsule system, resulting in a performance very close to the C414 XLII. It is ideal for lead vocals, and its 156dB maximum SPL makes it an excellent option for capturing high-output sound sources. The C214 comes with a spider-type shockmount as well as a rugged metal carrying case.
Recorded at Musician’s Friend in March of 2015.
