## Long description

The AKG C214 is a wired studio microphone designed for professional audio recording. Combining a one-inch large-diaphragm capsule derived from AKG's C414 series with patented back-plate technology, the C214 captures detailed sound across a 20–20,000 Hz frequency range. Its design integrates an internal suspension to reduce mechanical noise and delivers a high signal-to-noise ratio suitable for studio vocals, acoustic instruments and close-miked sources. The microphone is finished in black and connects via a mini XLR (3-pin) interface for reliable wired operation.
Advantages
The C214 provides a focused and natural sound thanks to its single large-diaphragm capsule and AKG engineering that mirrors key qualities of the higher-end C414 family. A switchable 20 dB attenuation pad enables recording of very loud sources up to 156 dB SPL without distortion. A selectable bass-cut filter reduces proximity effect for close-miking applications. With a sensitivity of 13 dB, a signal-to-noise ratio of 81 dB and a 200 Ω output impedance, the microphone balances low self-noise and usable output for a wide range of recording situations.
Suitable for
Studio vocal recording
Acoustic guitar and stringed instruments
Overheads for drums and percussion
Close-miked brass and woodwind instruments
Voice-over and broadcast applications

How to use
Mount the AKG C214 in a standard microphone stand using the supplied shock mount or mounting adapter to minimize mechanical vibration. Connect the microphone to your preamp or audio interface using an XLR cable adapted for mini XLR if required by your setup. Engage the 20 dB pad when recording loud sources to prevent clipping, and enable the bass-cut filter for close-miking to reduce proximity boost. Position the capsule toward the sound source and adjust distance to achieve the desired tonal balance; typical starting points are 6–12 inches for vocals and closer for instruments that benefit from a more intimate sound.
Usage recommendations
For consistent results in professional and project-studio environments, use a clean low-noise preamp and apply high-quality microphone cables. When recording loud sources, enable the attenuation pad and check levels at the preamp to avoid digital clipping. For vocal work, combine a pop filter with the bass-cut setting to reduce plosives and proximity coloration while maintaining clarity.
