AKG C214 Voiceovers.....????

[GearGear]

Hi....does anyone here own the AKG C214 microphone or used the same, how is it for Voiceovers......Vocals.....

Believe it has the same capsule of the AKG 414's

I am interested in purchasing one as it is in my budget but have not found much about it.

Hope I get some help here.

No but I do have a matched pair of 414 and they really do the trick!
I'm not sure though if the 214 have the same capsule or not, or the same circuity for that matter!
Just wondering ...what are you using for a preamp?

Preamp is Focusrite Pro 24

But I want to know about the AKG C214....how will it be for voiceovers....

I take it your not near a G. C. ? For they always have one out on display along with a bunch of other microphones. I would suggest a road trip and audition the 214 along with a few microphones for a first hand experience.

But if you can't make it to a G.C. my guess would be that the 214 would be suitable for what your wanting this microphone for.

You're right can't make it to a G.C......214 will be suitable......

Any more hands on experience with the AKG C214....

I have a c214. Never really compared it to a 414. But I love my c214. I use it mainly for singing vocals, but I love it on guitar amp and any acoustic instrument I've used it on. Not slot of high end stuff to compare it to, but I really like it.

Most the songs on my page were recorded with one on vocals. myspace.com/amcbstudios the top songs definately were.
