AKG C214-ST
Matched Stereo Pair of Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, Single Capsule, Cardioid

C214-ST

The rugged construction of the C 214 delivers a highly detailed and accurate sound not only in the studio, but on the road as well. The introduction of the Stereo Set provides users with a complete solution that delivers outstanding performance and excellent quality from a pair of C 214's which comes complete with a comprehensive range of accessories.

Realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance and excellent quality. It also requires performance consistency and accurate localization from the pair of microphones. Therefore, every factory-matched pair of C 214's is created from thousands of individual microphones selected by AKG's sophisticated computer-aided matching method and the result is the highest possible correlation over the whole frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning, three-dimensional recordings.

The C 214 captures sound combining one side of the legendary C 414 dual-capsule system which results in a cardioid-only design with an outstanding performance close to the famous C 414. The Ultra-Low Noise electronics are capable of handling up to 156 dB SPL but also enable for voice and orchestral instruments as well thanks to a low noise floor. Besides, the C 214 will also work on low phantom power voltages from 12 up to 48 volts.

Additional features include an integrated suspension, a 20dB attenuation pad and a low cut filter. The C 214 stereo set comes complete with two spider-type shock mounts, two stand adapters, two windsocks, a stereo pair certificate and a rugged metal carrying case.
