AKGC114 C-Series Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The C114 is a large-diaphragm condenser for recording sources that benefit from selectable cardioid, omnidirectional or figure-8 pickup. Its 26 mm dual-diaphragm capsule and transformerless FET circuit are paired with a 20 Hz–20 kHz response and 145 dB SPL maximum handling. That gives a single mic a place on vocals, instruments, room capture, and mid-side or dual-source techniques. It connects by 3-pin XLR and operates from 48V phantom power.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Changing pickup patterns between solo vocals, acoustic instruments and room-miking applications
- Mid-side or dual-source recording techniques that call for figure-8 operation
- Capturing loud guitar cabinets or percussion within its 145 dB SPL maximum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without 48V phantom power
