The matched pair of AKG C314 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphones is designed for detailed stereo capture of vocals, piano, strings, horns, woodwinds, drums, and percussion instruments. The set includes a stereo bar to allow easy and precise positioning of the two mics in various stereo configurations such as X/Y and ORTF.
Each mic features a 1″ dual-diaphragm capsule, four selectable polar patterns, an overload-detection LED, a -20 dB pad, and a bass-cut filter. The C314 microphone utilizes a balanced 3-pin XLR output connector and 44 to 52 VDC phantom powering for compatibility with most mixers, audio interfaces, and microphone preamps.
Designed on the heritage of the C414 XLS capsule, its dual computer-matched diaphragms offer polar-pattern accuracy and a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response while the integrated suspension dramatically reduces noise for pure, faithful recordings. These easy-to-access options make the C314 a great addition to any studio environment.
