Ultimate recording versatility
Switch effortlessly among cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight patterns to perfectly capture any sound source in diverse recording environments.
KEY FEATURES
The AKG C114 Large‑Diaphragm Multi‑Pattern Condenser Microphone is a versatile large diaphragm condenser microphone with a studio‑grade capsule that delivers ultra‑low‑noise, massive dynamic range and three selectable polar patterns for pristine capture of speech, instruments and ambience.
Classic Heritage Meets Modern Innovation
AKG builds on the legendary C12 and C414 lineage, retaining the edge‑terminated capsule that defines its signature top‑end smoothness while introducing a transformer‑less FET circuit that pushes the noise floor lower than ever. The microphone’s aluminium‑alloy body, now forged from 100 % recycled PIR metals, mirrors the timeless aesthetic of its predecessors yet fits seamlessly into contemporary recording rigs. Integrated cardioid, omnidirectional and figure‑of‑eight patterns give engineers the flexibility once reserved for high‑end multi‑pattern units, while the wide frequency response captures every nuance from delicate vocals to punchy percussion.
Design Optimised for Creators
The C114 adopts a plug‑and‑play architecture: connect via standard XLR, power the unit, and begin recording without configuring switches. Its robust construction tolerates the rigours of mobile streaming setups, and the sleek finish looks natural on camera, enhancing visual presentation for YouTubers and podcasters. Every component—from the capsule to the packaging—is engineered to reduce environmental impact, aligning high‑performance audio with sustainable practice.
Performance Highlights
The transformer‑less FET design supplies a remarkably low self‑noise, allowing quiet passages to emerge with crystal clarity. Expansive dynamic range accommodates both whisper‑soft narration and high‑energy instrumentals without distortion. The three polar patterns adapt instantly to changing recording scenarios, eliminating the need for multiple microphones on a single session.
