C214 : AKG C214 Review

12 years ago

I have bought the AKG C214 a year ago and I have to say that this is a nice sounding studio mic for the price. If you are setting up a home studio this could be a great choice as an all around mic.

I used this mic to capture vocals, acoustic guitars and drum overheads (especially ride cymbals). I think this mike is great for a certain type of vocal sound. It's has a really warm sound compared to the average studio condensers in this price range.

Also it was really great capturing acoustic stuff, if you are pairing it with an SM57 or something like that.

It comes with usual features and accessories nothing special. Be aware that you'll need to have a good preamp (or a mixer with built-in preamp) to get this microphone capture properly.
