AKG C414 B-TL II

The 414 B-TL II is a version of trs diffrent 414 B ULS.

Condenser microphone (condenser) vocation "singing". INTERESTED nanmois on many acoustic instruments.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 3 months.
The "prsence" of voice is remarkable. The voice appears naturally in the mix, do almost no ncessite four (most of the time I leave compltement law and let the magic oprer ...).

The strong point is that the sound is not aggressive, despite a curve rponse significantly increases the 8k (whistling classical) and 11k (prsence hump), but mod re on the 2.5 or the voices that make 3k nassillardes or aggressive. The bass is not Submitted excs, farms and prcises. The mdiums n'agreessent not. The highs are a precision and a brilliant always stunning, and the bump classic 11k prsence always effect for improved sharpness.

Tip: never save a singer by placing the cell in the axis of the mouth with such a microphone, your exact would be too aggressive. INTERESTED position is the position of the eyes or forehead, to the mouth, at least 20 centimtres (to avoid an effect of proximity often indsirable).

The report is not too qualitprix Whereas for such a micro, which Representative for me an advantage taken in the standard of singing.

I tried the Rode NT2 also, Behringer B2 (super nice), TLM 103 (trs right), U47 and U87 (largely surcoats my taste), and the Solid Tube (also a little surcoat ...)

DEFINITIONS IDAL the microphone in a trs many situations.

The default: uh ....... its price??

Micro chant vocation ... rise in the curve of 4 kHz, the rest very flat.
Each microphone comes with its own curve.
Multipolarity (4) and -10 & -20 dB pad.

Re-creation of the capsule of the famous C 12 vintage sound ... without the output transformer.

Micro cash that huge ...

Last Day in May 2004: In the studio, trying an APRS VH1 Brauner, Neumann U 47 Valve, A Sanken Cu 41, I record my album with the C414B Tl II, with a Pramp Studer D19 and MicValve as an insert to the compressor, my Joemeek VC1 Qcs ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use the microwave for 1 year to record my albums. Coupled a pramp / compressor TLaudio 5051, is your exact height of my expectancy at! I have a voice "martin baritone" and what makes him a beautiful micro warm color, trs well Retailer! It's impressive to prsence and Fidler!
I also recorded a cello ... What ism!
Well, what I like least in this micro is its look! It is unbalanced design is trs acr but I forgive him ... the sound is what matters APRS all! And with such a look is unmistakable ... Moreover AKG has understood this since a facelift performed without a radical change t! It trsrussit!
Just before the micro acqurir I have not tried other, I knew c'tait value sre. The only comparison I had not the least is the Neumann U87 from home to have recorded an album with Previous! No dception then, the C414 does not suffer from the comparison! So I think the report quality excellent price!

In short I think I found my microphone! It sticks to my voice and my music is rock ...
