## Description

If you haven't heard of AKG's c 414, you've no doubt heard it. That baby is in practically every big recording studio around. It's also a stage favorite. And a broadcast favorite. You get the picture. Why are we telling you all this? Because the AKG c 214 was made to be the cost-effective alternative to that high-end c 414, that is still made in austria. So now all of us with a project studio can actually put that AKG sound to work on our recordings.

Review: One Of The Best Microphones I Own - Got this 2 days back and now its one of my most favourite microphones I own and trust me when I say this, I have quite some microphones in my mic locker. The sound aignature is nice, tasty, delicious sounding, the colouration is pleasant, has a little bit of sibilance issue but with some de-essing it can work just fine. This thing works well for voiceovers, if however you’re looking at it for podcasting, sound wise its a 10, but price wise you can do well with microphones that cost less than this thing, for singing, narration, etc this is a beast and now the price has even gone down from what I bought it at so if you’re thinking to buy something like the Lewitt 440, save some more and get this guy instead, you won’t regret it! I am totally in love with this microphone for sure!
Review: nice saturated coloration on the highs - this budget mic is really2 great for the mic collections.. adds a nice warmth on the highs, it gives a nice coloration especially on vocals.. compared to the neumann (expensive mic) you wont hear much difference on a blind test, the high end naturally sounds like a little saturated on it even without any pre or post processing, if you are a microphone collector this is one that you must go with.. also for an overall mic its really great cause you can use them on much everything in the studio or home recording, vocals, instrument, voice-over etc.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for my xbox?**
A: You will need phantom power, xboxes do not provide phantom power, to answer your question, no this would not be good for your xbox, at all. Please let us know if we can assist you further, thank you!

**Q: Is this xlr 48 volt phantom power ??**
A: It requires phantom power of a range between 9 volts and 52 volts.  It will work with 48 volts as this is within the range it's designed to operate with.

**Q: Is this the current model or a discontinued model?**
A: Their latest C414s, as far as I know, have nine electronically switchable polar patterns. There are two variations, the C414XLS and the C414XLII. The XLII has a slight presence peak for vocals. I have a matched pair of C414XLS. All I'll ever need.

**Q: Anyone out there using the  c214 to record wooden flutes? (native american, shakuhachi, quena, irish, etc).  how's it sound?**
A: I haven’t used it to record wooden flutes, but I have used it to record saxophone.  I think it would record these kinds of instruments just fine.  I would recommend not close miking - give the sound room to breathe.  24” is a good estimate.
