A Matched Pair of Totally Awesome Condensers!
Looking for a set of mics that'll put vocals front and center and give instruments extra definition so you can place them in the mix? Check out this matched pair of AKG C214s. These sexy silver sound magnets feature the same super-detailed diaphragms as the legendary C 414 and a straightforward signal path that gives them an awesome response and tons of detail. AKG C214s use only a single diaphragm — rare for a large-diaphragm mic like this. While that means C214s have fixed cardioid pickup patterns, it also means that, other than their switchable 20dB pads and low cut filters, they have very little overall circuitry. The result is that C214s are incredibly quiet and have an enormous dynamic range — which makes them awesome for brass and drum overheads, killer close-up miking in general, and invaluable for capturing every last detail of seriously expressive vocalists.
