AKG C114 Large Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
The AKG C114 is a large diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphone designed for professional studio recording, broadcasting, and content creation. Built on AKG’s legacy of acoustic innovation, it captures vocals, instruments, speech, and ambience with natural clarity and precision.
At its core is a 26mm edge-terminated dual-diaphragm capsule, inspired by the legendary AKG C12 and C414 designs. This delivers exceptionally smooth high frequencies, a balanced midrange, and a rich, detailed tonal character suited to a wide range of applications.
With integrated cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight polar patterns, the C114 offers outstanding versatility for solo recording, interviews, room ambience, and ensemble setups. Its optimized transformerless FET circuit provides an ultra-low noise floor and wide dynamic range for clean, professional results.
Designed for modern workflows, the C114 features simplified plug-and-play operation — simply connect via XLR with 48V phantom power and start recording. Its contemporary aesthetic honors AKG’s heritage while looking professional on camera.
Sustainability is built in: the microphone body is crafted from 100% recycled PIR metals and alloys, and its packaging and accessories are designed to minimize environmental impact.
