AKG 5060650 - Capsule Assembly (Mechassy) for AKG C314 — Official Service Spare Part

The AKG reference 5060650 is the complete capsule assembly ( Mechassy, ​​Capsule ) intended for the AKG C314 multi-pattern condenser microphone . This is the original spare part used in technical service to restore the acoustic heart of the C314 to all factory tolerances and performances. According to AKG service documentation, this assembly includes the capsule and three associated elements for its electrical and mechanical assembly on the microphone head: capsule suspension , solder tab and screw , which simplify replacement and ensure correct seating of the capsule in its holder.

The C314's capsule is a 1" dual-diaphragm capsule based on the C414 XLS heritage; it uses a single-sided gold-plated diaphragm and advanced backplates, ensuring accurate polar patterns and clean transfer even at very high SPLs . When fitted to a C314, the microphone retains its four switchable directivities ( cardioid , supercardioid , omnidirectional , and figure-8 ) and its typical wide, flat response.

Service Note: Capsule replacement should be performed by qualified personnel , using ESD precautions, following the C314 Service Manual. Assembly 5060650 does not include the outer/inner grille or the capsule body frame (supplied as separate references).
