This has always been my go-to microphone for my vocal chain!!! Thank you!! so much brotha! I am currently on pause with gear...I lost all my equipment to a house fire (thank god for insurance)...but this was my go-to microphone...the chain I use was AKG 214, Preamp Focusrite ISA ONE, through Apollo Twin Duo USB, I was just about to try it through unison, compressor CL1b MII.

[Reborn_Shepard]

I just purchased one! You were the final video I watched in my decision. It was between this and the shure SM4

I have no regrets over choosing the C214 as my first voice-over mic. This was after watching many reviews. Acoustic instruments sound especially great too. I put it through a dbx286S into an Audient id14 mkii for my podcast.
For a more refined sound, I record directly through my Audient interface into my DAW and apply a Waves processing chain after editing (F6 eq and Scheps Omni Channel).This is for doing audio books and voice-over.

My go to mic currently is the Aston Origin. I think it works great for female vocals. But I think the AKG c414 is my next big mic after the Shure KSM42..

[TheNomador]

You've got a great voice 🔥🔥🔥 I've got an Aston Spirit now, think I'm gonna swap out for a C214. Sounds really detailed on high end frequencies thanks for the review

You can Sang my G! That mic sounds great on your voice. Very Neutral. My go to mic is the Lauten Audio Atlantis. 3 different mics in one and it sounds amazing. Its smooth on the high end and extremely detailed. It punches way above its weight, some people prefer it over a U87 so its definitely a great deal at 1500.

[REMRODFILMS]

Bro would you do this one or the c80? I really like this sound after hearing the comparison

[JBreezzmusic]

Been using this mic for years! And been waiting on your review of it lol

[semajtheprod]

Archie can you make a video showing how to hook up mics to preamps and compressors. Where to put cables and things like that to bypass built in preamps from the interface.

[tomodonnell]

Shure Beta58A is my go to live - I am just getting started with my home

[lonidevaughn]

OMGOODNESS I WANT MY SOUNDS THIS CLEAR!!!

[panchiyopro]

Perfect to record stereo instruments!!! 😍😍😍😍

[tetra-vf]

i got a shure mv7 usb, i just want this one cause it sounds and looks more aesthetically pleasing.

[bonojasper]

I wanna make music like lil Xxel/luh kel. Would u recommend st2020 for that or akgp120. The p120 is 15 euros higher in price where I live

[bubbletea]

I've got a small studio and am just starting out in voice over, using the Rode NT1 as recommended by another VO I like!

[eddwardmusic]

Hey Archie, cool to see another video! Also it would be damn cool to see some Golden Age Premier mics reviews, like GA8000 and ELAM 251, also take a shoot to Telefunken TF51, I guess you'll be impressed, but also it would be cool to see a review ;)

[davinjjames]

how do I connect the AKG C214 to a guitar amp. Thanks for the video.

[Furybeatsgme]

its okay a little boxy sounding missing a little high end would have to play around with eq and see what its really made of

[frankpiccirillo]

maybe it's my preamp, but i get that hiss sound that i don't get with the C1000s
