C 414 - The NeXt Generation
A studio standard and reference microphone for recording use, one of the most famous AKG microphones went through several engineering metamorphoses. First introduced in 1971 as the “C 414 comb”, it was relaunched in 1976 as “C 414 EB”, upgraded to digital-level performance as “C 414 EB P- 48”, conquered the installed sound market in its “C 414 B-ULS” version, and the “C 414 B-TL II” became a favorite mic of studio engineers. The unmistakable twin-trapezoidal shape was often copied, and the unique sound and technology have remained unequaled.
A fifth polar pattern has been added to the original set of four selectable patterns. Besides cardioid, hypercardioid, figure eight, and omni, the new generation also provides a wide cardioid.
