AKG C314 Professional Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone Standard

The AKG C314 is one in a series of microphones designed around the characteristics of the now classic AKG C414. The C314 has the exact same one-inch dual diaphragm capsule as the C414 XLS, a sound embraced by audio engineers the world over. Designed for enthusiasts and professionals alike, the C314 has advanced features that help artists fine-tune their signature sound including four selectable polar patterns, the lowest self-noise in its class, and an overload detection LED. Whereas the C414 features nine polar patterns, the C314 offers the four most commonly used polar patterns in studio applications.
