AKG C214 - $65 (Seattle)
QR Code Link to This Post
This C214 is an affordable partner to the C414.
Professional large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family.
Like the C414, the C214 offers a supreme one-inch capsule on an integrated suspension to reduce mechanical noise. A switchable 20dB attenuation pad allows recording of loud sources of up to 156dB SPL. A switchable bass-cut filter allows close-up recording with almost no proximity effect.
This mic has a defective capsule. It transmits sounds, but the level is low and there is a background hiss. Most likely the capsule needs replacement. This would be a good base to use for a C214 modification or capsule substitution. The lower portion of the mic with the electronics and transformer is tested and appears to work fine. The issue is the capsule.
