Manufacturer's Description for AKG C214 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

AKG's industry-leading C414 microphones are already a permanent fixture in the world's biggest recording studios and a highly respected work horse for independent artists, broadcasting, and on-stage miking as well.

The new C214 is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading C414 family. It captures sound combining one side of the legendary C414 dual-capsule system and AKG's patented Back-Plate Technology which results in an outstanding performance close to the famous C414 B-XLS.

Features

- AKG's Legendary 1 inch Edge-Terminated Large Diaphragm Sound'
- Outstanding Dynamic Range (up to 156 dB SPL, Ultra-Low Noise)
- Roadworthy Design
- Integrated Suspension to reduce mechanical Noise
- Switchable 20 dB Attenuation Pad and Low Cut Switch
- Rugged double mesh Grill for high RF immunity but unaffected Acoustics
- All-metal Die-cast body with shock- and scratch-resistant Finish
- Spider-type Shock Mount included
- Metal Carrying Case included
- Designed, Engineered and Build in Vienna, Austria

Like the C414 models, the C214 is capable of handling the rigors of high-pressure sound such as amplified guitars, with a sensitivity perfect for voice and orchestral instruments as well. Additionally, the microphone offers a 20 dB Attenuation pad, 13 dB noise floor, and a low cut switch--all in an elegant but rugged package. Besides, the C214 will also work on low phantom power voltages from 12 up to 48 volts.

Additional features include an integrated suspension, a double mesh grill high RF immunity without affecting acoustics. The circuitry in the C214 provides maximum SPL capability with minimum noise and the gold-plated XLR-type output connector offers loss-free signals. zZounds is an authorized dealer of AKG products.

"So far So delicious"
Sound: Bubblicious is the first word that comes to mind since this is a mouthfull of juicy sound for your ears my freinds. it is great with vocals, sounds superb and im only running it through my basic dm3200 preamps, let alone when i run it through a presonus. Feature: For this price Its a steal Ease of Use: turn it on, read the manual for some good recording tips and try it out! Quality: Bomb, it feels tuff, the shockmount works realy well. Value: its basicaly a c414 with some features missing, but its all the same components, 10 The Wow Factor: theres allot of mics i want Overall: Pends for what your using it for, sounds delicious on bongo drums too, 9 it is.
