The AKG C114 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone that is audibly based on AKG's long studio tradition and is clearly in the here and now. The capsule is based on the classic edge terminated design, as known from legendary models, and delivers exactly what you want in the studio. An open treble, clean mids and a bass range that is present without booming. Whether vocals, acoustic guitar, amp, piano or speech, the C114 quickly feels at home.
With cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-of-eight polar patterns, the AKG C114 covers a wide range. Solo
Thanks to the transformerless FET circuit, the signal remains clean and direct. Even loud sources do not disturb the microphone. With up to 145 dB sound pressure, the C114 can easily handle drums, brass or guitar amps at close range. At the same time, the self-noise is pleasantly low at 12 dBA, which reproduces quiet vocals and fine details just as well. The result sounds open, controlled and very honest without being sterile.
The housing of the AKG C114 is made from completely recycled metals and the accessories and packaging have also been designed with sustainability in mind. This is not noticeable in the sound, but in the good feeling of using a tool that not only fits the times technically, but also conceptually.
Whether recording, podcasting, streaming or broadcasting, the AKG C114 is a versatile large diaphragm microphone for musicians and producers who don't want to think long and hard, but want to record. A solid workhorse with character, classic AKG heritage and modern technology that will quickly earn a permanent place in your setup.
