One of the most revered studio mics is the multi-patterned C414.But if you plan on sticking purely to cardioid, then C214 is your puppy.
Single diaphragm cardioid condenser that will suit vocal or instrument application. The switchable -20dB pad gives up to a whopping 156dB SPL, and the 20 Hz – 20 kHz response is similar to the older big brother, C414BXLII.
Includes low cut switch, and ships with suspension.
