Stereo pairs

2.6 Stereo pairs
Realistic stereo recordings require microphones with outstanding performance and
excellent quality. They also require consistent performance and accurate localization
throughout the entire frequency range from the pair of microphones.
Therefore, every factory‑matched pair of C214 is created from thousands of individual
microphones selected by AKG's sophisticated computer‑aided matching method.
The C214 matched stereo pairs thus provide the highest possible correlation over the
microphones' entire frequency range and virtually identical sensitivity for stunning,
three‑dimensional recordings.

Power supply

The C214 provides low self‑noise (just 13 dB(A)) yet high headroom. The microphone
requires a phantom power source providing 12 to 52 V as per IEC 61938.
Risk of damage
Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other than a phantom power source
(input with phantom power or external IEC 61938 standard phantom power supply) with
a floating connector, using a balanced cable with studio grade connectors to IEC 268‑12
only. This is the only way to ensure safe and reliable operation.
