The AKG C314 is designed for enthusiasts and professionals alike with advanced features that help artists fine-tune their signature sound. The C314 condenser microphone features four selectable polar patterns, the lowest self-noise in its class and an overload detection LED. Using the same 1" dual diaphragm capsule as the C414 XLS uses, the C314 gives musicians, engineers and producers the confidence that their audience will experience every subtle nuance as it was intended.
