AKGC314 Professional Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The AKG C314 is a multi-pattern condenser microphone for studio and stage applications. It uses the same 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule as the C414 XLS and offers four selectable polar patterns—the four commonly used for studio work. A 20Hz–20kHz response, 135 dB maximum SPL, low self-noise, and overload-detection LED support careful recording setup. It connects by XLR and requires 48V phantom power. A pouch and shockmount are specified with the microphone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio setups that need four selectable polar patterns and an overload indication during recording.
- Stage or studio users with XLR connections and available 48V phantom power.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without 48V phantom power.
- Users who need more than the four selectable polar patterns offered here.
