They are nice "utility infielder" mics. We have a pair at the studio.

That was the first "good" mic I got, and it still gets used.

i had two c-214's before but had to sell them for financial reasons..... i bought this one because i still have good memories of this model mic. it sounds great and is affordable. i'm very happy with it.

I love the 214. Was my main gigging mic for years. And used it for a chunk of my YouTube vids a few years back too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74raEzp8uJ8 Got dropped a number of times when touring, always worked.. Congrats on a solid purchase..

Ha! Thanks. Thanks boss. Well, I'm sure the gallon of reverb and compression on there probably doesn't hurt.

Here's a live one with bass and drums https://youtu.be/uQjYDNHvB4g Using just the 214 going into my AER Alpha amp and recorded via the line out. There's also a room mic pair mixed in there, and it's kind of epic sounding room here Portland so that's another gallon of reverb -though the real kind
