Our take on the AKG C314
The AKG C314 is a large-diaphragm condenser mic with four selectable polar patterns, suited to streamers with an interface who want a flexible studio mic. At a tracked $845 it sits at the bottom of its $845 to $879 range since August 9, 2026.
It shares the one-inch dual diaphragm capsule of the C414 XLS. The mic has a 20 dB pad, a bass-cut filter and an overload LED. A shock mount and case come in the box. The output is XLR, so you need an interface or mixer. Retailer ratings are 4.8, but only 16 of them.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
