The C214 Matched Pair microphones are optimized for stereo recording with a high correlation over the entire frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity, thanks to AKG's computer-aided matching method. This ensures precise localization and consistent performance for realistic, three-dimensional audio capture.
Yes, the C214 Matched Pair is well-suited for live performance recording. Their robust design and cardioid pattern make them capable of capturing high-quality audio in a live environment while minimizing unwanted background noise.
The cardioid polar pattern of the C214 microphones is designed to capture sound from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This makes them ideal for recording vocals or instruments, ensuring a clear and focused audio capture.
Large-diaphragm condenser microphones like the C214 Matched Pair offer a wider frequency response and a smoother, more natural sound. They are particularly sensitive and capable of capturing subtle nuances, making them excellent for studio-quality recordings.
To use the C214 Matched Pair microphones, you'll need a standard microphone stand, XLR cables, and an audio interface or mixer with phantom power, as they are condenser microphones that require external power.
