OFFLINE AKG C314 Dual-Diaphragm Condenser Stereo Microphones, Matched Pair

Full Description

Renaissance mic

The mic that does it all. The AKG C314 Dual-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone really is a versatile piece of kit. Boasting four selectable polar patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-8), you're well-equipped. Record drum overheads just as easily as studio vocals. Whatever you're recording, you'll always have the right tool for the job.

The C314 features a handy overload detection LED. Meaning you'll always know when your input levels are too high. And the C314 gives you a simple and effective fix in the form of a switchable pad. Not only that but a built-in bass-cut filter combats unwanted noise and rumble. Leaving your recordings crystal clear.

The devil is in the details

At the heart of the C314 is a premium 1 inch dual-diaphragm capsule. Both diaphragms are computer matched meaning infallible polar pattern accuracy. With a huge frequency range stretching 20 Hz – 20 kHz, you'll be able to capture every last detail. The C314 features incredibly low self-noise. Coupled with built-in capsule suspension, you're guaranteed the utmost clarity in all of your recordings.

Not just a pretty face

The C314 Dual-Diaphragm may well be the prettiest mic in your studio. But it's much more than its looks. Designed for sustained use, the C314 is built to last. And durable enough for the stage as well as the studio. A scratch resistant coating acts as an additional layer of protection, while a dual-layer mesh grille gives you wind shielding and RF screening.

AKG factory-matched microphones

AKG know that realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance and excellent quality. It also requires consistency and accurate localization from the microphones. That’s why every factory-matched pair of C314's come from thousands of individual microphones that are then selected by AKG's sophisticated computer-aided matching method. This results in the highest possible correlation over the whole frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity - providing you with incredible, stunning, three-dimensional recordings.
