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 AKG C214 is designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading C414 family. It captures sound combining one side of the legendary C 414 dual-capsule system and AKGs patented Back-Plate Technology which results in an outstanding performance close to the famous C 414 B-XLS.
