Has excellent pick up. Great for beginning voice over talent. Seems to go the distance. Was a nice package deal.

Save your money and get a 414.

Read title, the only exception is if you do spoken word. For some reason this microphone is awesome for just the speaking voice. Peace, Karl

Good mic for TALKING ONLY--- TRASH for singing voice

Reviewed by John on Guitar Center

This mic is way over priced. For the poor quality it should be priced at $50-$80. This mic is decent when you speak but for singing, you get a muffled sound. DO NOT BUY THIS MIC unless they happen to drop it to $50.

Not Bad

Reviewed by Drew on Guitar Center

I have used this mic on the road for a good two months and it was okay. We had it on guitars. It is another creature compared to say the KSM32, or AT2500. Yet, some nights you roll in to a venue that has issues with snakes, cables and consoles. I am over the 'got to have the large diaphragm condenser' for guits and drums. Sure in a controlled environment that's perfect. Live, I need something that is reasonably priced and durable. For the price of one C214 you can get two Heil PR 30's. That's my two cents.
