3 Powering
The C314 provides low self-noise yet high headroom.
The microphone requires a phantom power source
providing 48 V ± 4 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.

4 Using the Microphone
4.1 Introduction
The C314 features a smooth frequency response
similar to the typical sound of AKG large-diaphragm
microphones.
You can use the C314 for most musical instruments in
the studio and on stage (see also section 3.5).
With its cardioid polar pattern, the microphone will give
excellent results in a multiplicity of recording situations,
particularly, in close miking.
4.2

Bass cut filters

The selectable bass cut filter will effectively cancel
out any unwanted noise such as fan noise from air
conditioning systems or low-frequency noise due to
floor vibrations, handling noise, etc. without affecting
the sound of the recorded voice or instrument on tape.
For details on the bass cut refer to the description of
the operating elements.
