About the AKG C214 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The C214 is AKG's cardioid-only large-diaphragm condenser. It uses a one-inch edge-terminated capsule, the single-diaphragm version of the dual capsule in the C414, so there is no pattern switch. The published figures are a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range, 20 mV/Pa sensitivity (-34 dBV), 13 dB-A self-noise and 200 ohms impedance. It takes 136 dB SPL as it is and 156 dB with its switchable 20 dB pad, for a dynamic range of 123 dB, or 143 dB with the pad. A second switch adds a low-cut filter at 160 Hz, 6 dB per octave.
It needs phantom power, anywhere from 12 to 52 V with 48 V the standard supply, and draws under 2 mA. The body is die-cast metal in a matte grayish blue, scratch-resistant finish, with a double mesh grille, an internal capsule suspension and a gold-plated XLR output; it measures 160 x 55 mm and weighs 280 g. It is made in Vienna, Austria. In the box are the H85 spider shock mount, the W214 foam windscreen and a metal carrying case. Beyond vocals and acoustic instruments, it is used close on loud sources: guitar cabinets, drum overheads and brass.
