The C 214 is a cost-effective alternative to the high-end, industry-leading AKG C 414 family.Like the C 414 models, it can handle high-pressure sound such as amplified guitars with a sensitivity that makes it excel with voice and orchestral instruments as well. It offers a 20 dB Attenuation pad, 13 dB noise floor, and a low cut switch, and can work on low phantom power voltages from 12 up to 48 volts.Additional features include an integrated suspension, a double mesh grill and high RF immunity without affecting acoustics. Its circuitry provides maximum SPL capability with minimum noise and its gold-plated XLR-type output connector offers loss-free signals.The C 214 comes complete with carrying case, windscreen, and a spider suspension mount. 1″ edge-terminated large diaphragm sound Outstanding dynamic range (up to 156 dB SPL, Ultra-Low Noise) 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response <=200 ohms impedance Integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise Switchable 20 dB attenuation pad and low cut switch Rugged double mesh grill for high RF immunity but unaffected acoustics All-metal die-cast body with shock- and scratch-resistant Finish Spider-type shock mount included Metal carrying case included Designed, engineered and built in Vienna, Austria
