Experience phenomenal audio performance and seamless operation with the AKG C114 Large Diaphragm Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone. Drawing from AKG’s rich musical heritage and refined for today’s creative innovators, the C114 is designed for musicians, podcasters, YouTubers, and streamers who demand versatility, clarity, and professional reliability.

Main Features

• Large diaphragm condenser microphone
• Selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure of eight
• Side address design
• Ultra low noise floor
• Wide dynamic range
• High headroom for distortion free recording
• Environmentally friendly construction using recycled materials
• Ideal for vocals, instruments, podcasting, streaming, and content creation

At the heart of the C114 is an edge terminated, gold sputtered large diaphragm capsule inspired by the legendary AKG C12 and C414 microphones. This proven design delivers a smooth high end and a balanced frequency response that flatters vocals, instruments, and spoken word alike. With selectable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure of eight polar patterns, the C114 adapts effortlessly to a wide range of recording scenarios, from solo vocals to room ambience and mid side techniques.

An advanced transformerless FET circuit ensures pristine audio capture with an ultra low noise floor and an expansive dynamic range. Capable of handling sound pressure levels up to 145 dB without audible distortion, the C114 performs equally well on loud guitar cabinets, acoustic instruments, and delicate vocal performances. From the quietest details to powerful transients, every source is captured with precision and depth.

Sustainability is a core element of the C114’s design. The microphone body is manufactured from 100 percent recycled PIR metals and alloys, while the accessories and packaging are engineered to minimise environmental impact and are fully recyclable. This makes the C114 a forward thinking choice for creators who value both performance and responsible manufacturing.

Combining classic AKG inspiration with modern engineering, the AKG C114 is a versatile studio microphone that delivers consistent, professional results across music production, content creation, and broadcast applications.
