NEVER GET OVERLOADED
Meet the C314, the latest sibling from one of the industry’s most widely used studio and stage microphone
families. 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. Using the same one-inch dual diaphragm capsule as the C414 XLS, musicians,
engineers and producers can have the confidence that their audience will experience every subtle nuance as it
was intended.
Stereo Pair:
Realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance and excellent quality. They also
require consistent performance and accurate localization from the pair of microphones. Therefore, every
factory-matched pair of C314s is created from thousands of individual microphones selected by AKG’s
sophisticated computer-aided matching method.
The result is the highest possible correlation over the microphones entire frequency range and virtually
identical sensitivity for stunning, three dimensional recordings.
