AKG C 214
The C 214 is a lower-cost (cardioid-only) version of AKG's venerable classic C 414. The new model is a single-capsule, single-diaphragm design that delivers the same sonic performance as its legendary cousin, but at a $649 retail. The C 214's integrated capsule suspension minimizes chassis-borne noise and resonances. Also standard is a switchable -20dB pad and 160Hz low-cut filter. The C 214's die cast metal body provides road-tough construction quality with a scratch-resistant finish and a gold-plated XLR output. The C 214 is available now and ships with a spider-type shock-mount, windscreen and metal carrying case.
