The new model has a 26 mm dual-diaphragm capsule based on the same design as the AKG C12 and C414 microphones. The microphone provides smooth highs and even mids. A transformerless FET circuit delivers very low self-noise (12 dB) and a wide dynamic range. As with the C104, the C114 body is made entirely from recycled PIR metals and alloys.
