This large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed on the basis of

feedback from sound engineers who have used the C 12, C 12 A, C 414 EB,

C 414 B-ULS, C 414 B-TL II, and C 414 XL II microphones in recording studios

around the world for years. Using hand-selected state-of-the-art, reliable compo-

nents as well as advanced manufacturing processes, the C 214 meets the high-

est professional standards and will withstand severe handling in the recording

studio for many years.

The electronic circuitry of the microphone has been redesigned to achieve maxi-

mum dynamic range and a flat frequency response. Low self-noise and high head-

room add up to a dynamic range of 143 dB (A-weighted).

The transducer element uses advanced backplate technology and a diaphragm

that is gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent local shorting to the back elec-

trode even at extremely high sound pressure levels.

The all-metal body ensures efficient rejection of RF interference so you can use

the microphone near transmitter stations, along with wireless microphones or

other communications equipment.
