AKG's industry-leading C414 microphones are already a permanent fixture in the world's biggest recording studios and a highly respected workhorse for independent artists, broadcasting, and on-stage miking as well.
The new 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 C414 dual-capsule system and AKG's patented Back-Plate Technology, which results in an outstanding performance very close to the famous C414 B-XLS.
Like the C414 models, the C214 is capable of handling the rigors of high-pressure sound such as amplified guitars, with a sensitivity perfect for voice and orchestral instruments as well. Additionally, the microphone offers a 20dB Attenuation pad, 13dB noise floor, and a low cut switch — all in an elegant but rugged package.
Additional features include an integrated suspension, a double mesh grill high RF immunity without affecting acoustics. The circuitry in the C214 provides maximum SPL capability with minimum noise and the gold-plated XLR-type output connector offers loss-free signals.
The C214 comes complete with carrying case, windscreen, and spider suspension mount included.

I find it hard to trust reviews because everyone almost always loves their product. But when it comes to the C214, it deserves 5 stars. Upgrading from the Perception 220, which I wasn't really happy with, there is a night and day difference. This mic is so much more crisp on vocals and hardly needs any EQ. I've found a LPF rolloff and slight boost in the highs is all this really needed for me. If you are on a low to mid budget, this is a great choice. I was finally able to capture that professional sounding vocal that I just could not get with my 220.
best mic iv used for hiphop vocals. iv been rapping for some time now. works well with any vocals really. a little studio foam or blankets and you are set for awesome vocals. awesome prrice. even better mic. iv used audio technica 2020, tlm 103, and nta rode mics along with others. the mic is better than them all in my opinion.

Really Great Sounding Mic - I'm very happy with it
I'm using this mic for home studio recordings, mostly vocals. I've only had the mic for a few days but i find other reviews very helpful so i want to make sure to provide my input and if I let to much time go by I'll never get around to writing one myself.
To be honest I'm not an expert on mics. I was simply looking for something as an upgrade to the MXL 990 i've been using and this mic was highly recommended from the guy at GC. I had not done a lot of research but since the GC guys had such strong favoritism of this mic over the others and it doesn't cost that much money i figured it was worth a try. Right away i did a side by side comparison with the MXL 990 and yup definitely worth the extra cost.
This mic has a very nice clean rich sound. I like the shock mount design with a quick release twist. Seems like a well put together mic.
I'm very happy with it.
