Each microphone uses a 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule based on the heritage of the C414 XLS, delivering a wide 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response, low self-noise, and precise transient detail. AKG selects each factory-matched pair using computer-aided matching to achieve closely correlated frequency response and virtually identical sensitivity for realistic three-dimensional stereo recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-matched pair selected using AKG computer-aided matching for accurate stereo recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule based on the C414 XLS design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour selectable polar patterns: Cardioid, Supercardioid, Omnidirectional, and Figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response captures detailed lows, mids, and highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 dB-A equivalent noise level for clean, low-noise recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated capsule suspension helps reduce mechanical noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverload detection LED provides a visual warning when input levels are too high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 dB attenuation pad accommodates high-output sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 Hz bass-cut filter helps reduce rumble, vibration, and proximity effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, drums, percussion, and other studio instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePure, Honest Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether recording in a large concert hall or a compact studio, the C314 is designed to capture the performance rather than color it. Its 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule delivers a full 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency range, while low self-noise helps preserve quiet details. Dual computer-matched diaphragms provide accurate polar-pattern performance, and the integrated suspension helps isolate the capsule from unwanted mechanical noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFour Selectable Polar Patterns\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C314 offers Cardioid, Supercardioid, Omnidirectional, and Figure-8 polar patterns, making the microphones flexible enough for a wide range of recording techniques. Supercardioid can help reduce spill when recording drums or ensembles, while Figure-8 can be useful for dual-vocal, stereo, and other specialized recording configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOverload Detection and Bass Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn overload detection LED makes it easy to see when signal levels are approaching overload, helping engineers determine when to engage the attenuation pad.
