AKG C214 MP - 2-Pack of C214 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphones with Accessories and Carrying Case in Black Finish

The AKG C214 MP is a versatile matched pair of large-diaphragm condenser microphones designed to offer high-quality sound capture for a wide range of applications, including vocals, drums, acoustic instruments, and guitar amplifiers. These microphones are a cost-effective alternative to AKG's renowned C414, delivering similar performance with the same 1" dual-capsule but in a single-diaphragm, cardioid-only configuration. With a wide frequency range, low self-noise, and high dynamic range, the C214 MP is ideal for use in both studio and live environments, offering clarity and detail even at high sound pressure levels.

The C214 microphones feature advanced technology that allows the diaphragm to vibrate freely, producing detailed transients and a natural sound. These microphones can handle up to 156 dB SPL with the help of a switchable -20 dB pad, making them ideal for close-miking applications and loud sound sources like drums and guitar amps. Additionally, the 160 Hz low-cut filter helps eliminate bass buildup and rumble, further enhancing the clarity of recordings. The cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces unwanted stage or room noise, ensuring that only the desired sound is captured.

These microphones are built to withstand the demands of professional studios and live performances. The C214's rugged, die-cast metal body is designed with a scratch-resistant finish and a dent-resistant metal grille, ensuring durability and protection. The integrated capsule suspension helps reduce mechanical noise and resonance, further improving sonic accuracy. The microphones come equipped with high RF immunity, allowing them to be used near wireless equipment without interference.

The C214 MP package includes two microphones, each with its own spider-type shockmount and stand adapter, ensuring stable mounting and isolation from vibration noise. Also included is a pair of windscreens to protect the microphones from breath and plosive sounds. The microphones are stored in a durable aluminum carrying case, making them easy to transport and store. With their low noise, high dynamic range, and durable construction, the C214 MP microphones are the perfect solution for recording, live sound, and broadcasting needs.
