2005年3月30日 · Akg I like the C414 in omni for acoustic guitar about 18" away from the soundhole, though my room is well treated. Cardoid always works well also. But anyway, I could be wrong but the E string on an acoustic resonates at around 82 hz, so I believe the 150hz lo cut might not be so good. I would either go for 80hz cut or none and EQ it later. I track with a little compression if I to bring out ...

2004年2月4日 · Firstly, I'm considering purchasing a C414 but there are three different ones available as far as I can see. What difference is there between these? Dreaming a little here, but would It be better to save my pennies a while longer and go …

2005年8月16日 · I recently recorded a surf guitar tune through a twin, clean with reverb using a C414uls and wasn't as happy with the tone as with a SM57. The SM57 was much more focused and brought the guitar out front whereas the C414 made it sound bland. The C414 excells on acoustic material because it can handle a wide frequency range. For electric guitar to fit in a mix there are better choices.

2021年7月17日 · The C414 XLII is probably similar to the current Neumann with a lot of "air" lift at the top. The C414 XLS is probably closer to flat, but either are fine mics. @rob aylestone has posted that he uses the C414 mics regularly, or that was my impression!

2013年6月24日 · Hello! I need advice, some help - I've narrowed down my choice to this two mics. I would mainly use it for VOCALS, and secondary to record some acoustic guitars. I had a good deal on AKG which makes it close to the price of RODE. I'm aware that AKG C414 is classic, but I need straight...

2020年9月23日 · Hello! I'm looking for recommendations for lower-cost alternatives to the AKG c414 for recording use in my home studio; particularly LDCs with max SPL levels high enough for close micing a loud electric guitar cabinet and with a similarly crispy high-end response to the c414. That said, it...

2005年1月16日 · AKG makes some absolute cheap shit. AKG had a rep back in the day and were one of the major manufacturers of some stunning mics. Those days are gone. The only mics AKG makes anymore that are worth writing home about are the 414's, D112 and 451. I would pick the ADK TL or one of the AKG 414's over the KSM44.

2021年12月9日 · I was originally leaning towards the AKG C414 but I heard some samples of the Rode NT2-A and liked it a lot. I think I like the AKG C414 more than the Neumann TLM 103 specifically for mid range female voices, but the TLM 103 is often compared to the AKG C414 so curious what you guys think.

2009年11月23日 · After hearing some mixed reviews of the TLM 103 i looked into equivalents. I heard the Shure KSM 44 was a quality mic and beat out the TLM 103 on a number of occasions. compared reviews and opinions. the least i know about is …

2005年3月22日 · I use the AKG-C414-XLii primarily for vocals. What would be a good preamp for that mic to keep the vocals warm? I'm looking at the John Hardy M-1...but, is there anything else I should consider in that price range?? I currently go direct to my Fireface 800 with ok results, but figure a dedicated ...
