The AKG C314 is designed for enthusiasts and professionals alike with advanced features that help artists fine-tune their signature sound. The C314 condenser microphone features four selectable polar patterns, the lowest self-noise in its class and an overload detection LED. Using the same 1" dual-diaphragm capsule as the C414 XLS uses, the C314 gives musicians, engineers and producers the confidence their audience will experience every subtle nuance as it was intended.
