I have a consecutive pair of these amazing mics. Multipattern [4-pole discrete on-body switch] and Pad [0, -10, -20]db and Highpass switch too.
Front side silver grill, rear of mic has black grill for easy orientation at a glance.
Super precise and accurate, with a large diaphragm to capture all the low-end goodness. Each pattern truly does what it should, and the rejection difference is noticable per pattern, which makes mic placement relatively easy.
Fairly heavy mic, aprox 7-800g, but feels incredibly solid, compact, and oozes quality. The XLR is integral to the stalk under the mic body which also is the area the mic clips attach to.
The sound is 'rich' and detailed, from lows to highs. The soundscape is supremely beleivable from a stereo pair.
Difficult to see how it could get better than this at any price.
The 414EB were the Daddy to the other 414-varieties out there . [although not the 1st from AKG in this shape]. Vintage, and built to last a lifetime these are serious studio mics .
Awesome mics.
