Lowest self-noise and high headroom for the purest recording.
Overload detection LED helps preserve dynamics and clarity.
Integrated capsule suspension minimizes mechanical noise.
20 dB attenuation pad and bass-cut filter enhance recording quality.
Tuned to Capture Every Nuance – Four Selectable Polar Patterns:
The versatile C314 is perfect for recording a variety of sound sources. Employ cardioid, supercardioid, omni, or figure-8 patterns to adapt to any recording situation, from reducing drum spill to balancing multiple vocalists.
Never Get Overloaded – Overload Detection LED and Bass-Cut Filter:
The C314 comes equipped with an overload detection LED to prevent distortion by indicating high sound pressure levels and a bass-cut filter to reduce unwanted noise and proximity effect.
