Product Description

AKG's industry-leading C 414 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 C 214 is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading C 414 family. It  captures sound combining one side of the legendary C 414 dual-capsule system and AKG's patented Back-Plate Technology which results in an outstanding performance close to the famous C 414 B-XLS.

these mics are great for an all round in the mic tool box for a large diaphragm mic, I usually have them for my drum overheads or when a surprise percussion player turns up, a great alternative to the 414 if you are on a budget.
