AKG C314 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone

• AKG’s XLS mic capsule sounds great in any setting
• Overload indicator helps you make better recordings
• A great go-to mic for project studios

AKG’s XLS mic capsule sounds great in any settingRecording engineers  like AKG’s XLS mic capsule because it produces great results from anything you put in front of it. We also like it because any off-axis sounds it picks up still sounds natural, unlike some mics that sound significantly different when off-axis sounds are introduced. So even if you’ve got some bleed from other sources, you’ll still get great results from the AKG C314.

Overload indicator helps you make better recordingsWhile the AKG C314 microphone can handle impressive SPL levels (up to 155dB with the pad engaged), it also sports a peak indicator LED that tells you when you’re overloading the mic. When you’re setting up mics and doing a sound check you won’t need to constantly reference your monitoring system to know excessive sound levels are distorting the mic.

A great go-to mic for project studiosWhile any recordist can appreciate the great sound and recording flexibility of the AKG C314, it really packs a lot of value for project studios that regularly record different sound sources. Even if your sessions for the week range from voiceovers, hand percussion, and choirs to string quartets, rock bands, and Foley for sound design, you’ll get exceptional results with an AKG C314.
