AKG C214

Description

One of the greatest successes of the Austrian manufacturer. Economical alternative to the famous C414, from which it takes the 1 "capsule, the C214 will reveal itself when taking slightly delicate acoustic sounds such as strings, guitars or piano. Ideal also in drums, especially in its stereo set version. Coupled to a tube preamplifier, it can be used to capture his voice, which he will outline wonderfully the details and details, a marvel of technology at a very attractive price!

Features:
- Large 1 "membrane capsule
- Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz
- No-load sensitivity: 20 mV / Pa
- Pre-attenuation: 20 dB
- Phantom power required: 12 - 52 V
- Connection: 3-pin male XLR
- Included: Elastic suspension, metal case and windscreen
- Dimensions: 160 x Ø 55 mm
- Weight: 280 g
Brand reference number: C214

Super quality microphone, contrary to many reviews, despite poor acoustics in my studio, the room reverb is not too noticeable, however mouth noises are very present but easy to manage. Perfect for a home studio without having to splurge on a c414. I recommend it!

The C series from AKG needs no introduction, this microphone is of impeccable build quality. After testing it in my studio, I must say I am amazed by the sound capture quality of this C214. No hiss, wide frequency coverage, a GREAT value for money.

Bought for recording guitar (acoustic and electric) and voice for a small home studio. Really very beautiful definition! Another world compared to the dynamic microphones used before.

Very good equipment, I was able to compare my voice on several competitors and according to my 2 sound engineer colleagues, it is the one with the most faithful rendering

Very good microphone for singing and acoustic guitar (that's all I've tested with it so far), with a screen behind it's perfect, the sound is captured very well.

Nice to meet you! Great sound right from the recording. I use it for singing bowls, a tongue drum, koshis... almost no editing needed.

to capture my acoustic guitar on the soundhole. I double the recording with a Neumann KM184 on the fretboard.

Excellent value for money for all beginner home studio users, however better for guitar recording than vocals (in my opinion) For the features, a good test bench is available for you on audiofanzine (as always) http://fr.audiofanzine.com/microphone-statique-transistor/akg/C-214/editorial/tests/le-c-414-du-pauvre.html

I hesitated with the NEUMANN TLM 102 but the AKG C214 is just excellent in terms of performance and its price remains very affordable compared to its competitor. However, it is less aesthetic than the NEUMANN but this remains a minor detail and a matter of taste.
