AKG C114

AKG C114 large-diaphragm condenser microphone with selectable polar patterns

The AKG C114 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with multiple polar patterns, designed for users who demand maximum flexibility and professional sound quality. Building on decades of AKG innovation, the C114 reproduces every detail with high precision—whether you're recording speech, vocals, or instruments.

The microphone is equipped with an edge-terminated capsule, inspired by the same design as the legendary AKG C12 and C414. This provides silky smooth highs, balanced mids, and a natural, open sound. With a choice of cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 characteristics, the C114 can be easily adapted to different recording situations and creative needs.

The optimized, transformerless FET circuitry provides low self-noise and a wide dynamic range, ensuring reliable and detailed sound reproduction regardless of the sound source. A modern and camera-friendly design, inspired by AKG's iconic C414, makes the C114 as visually appealing as it is sonically accurate.

The AKG C114 is also designed with sustainability in mind. The microphone body is made from 100% recycled PIR metals and alloys, and both the packaging and accessories are designed for minimal environmental impact.
