Description

The AKG C314 is one in a series of microphones designed around the characteristics of the now-classic AKG C414. The C314 has the exact same 1" dual-diaphragm capsule as the C414 XLS, a sound embraced by audio engineers the world over. Designed for enthusiasts and professionals alike, the C314 has advanced features that help artists fine-tune their signature sound, including four selectable polar patterns, the lowest self-noise in its class and an overload detection LED. Whereas the C414 features nine polar patterns, the C314 offers the four most commonly used polar patterns in studio applications.

Four selectable polar patterns
Perfect for nearly every application.
Lowest self noise
For highest resolution in high-dynamic applications.
Overload detection LED
Indicates overly high sound pressure levels.
Computer-matched diaphragms
To guarantee the highest polar pattern accuracy.

20dB attenuation pad and bass-cut filter

    I've worked with Neumann TLM 103s and 102s, AKG C414, Rode NTG 3 and Neumann U87 (all amazing mics) But I needed something on the side to bring home and make a stereo pair and decided to purchase 2 AKG C314s. To no surprise the microphone delivers exactly as advertised! The self noise produced is extremely low. It is not overly bright sounding if you are not a fan of very bright sounding mics. The build quality of the mic in this price range is amazing. As for Cons on the microphone I have none. In my opinion it does an outstanding job with vocals and foley. For instrumentals I recommend using 2 for a stereo sound. 10/10 Microphone

  • BUY IT !

    Great mic! Wonderful crisp, warm and natural vocals from this thing. I think I'll be using this mic on pretty much every project I do. 4 patterns, led overload, low noise... Buy It! You'll be happy you did.
