AKG’s C414 is the classic multi-purpose large diaphragm studio mic, extensively used over the years on everything from lead vocals to orchestras, thanks to its linear transfer characteristics and 134dB dynamic range. Five selectable polar patterns (omni, subcardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure of 8), -6, -12 and -18dB pads, and 3 switchable bass-cuts, and phantom powering are available. Also available as a stereo pair.
