New
For over 60 years, leading musicians and engineers have used legendary AKG microphones to capture their sound, so that their audience hears every nuance. The C 414 family has been one of the world’s most widely-used and respected studio and stage microphones in audio history. With new useful features and even greater ease of use, we are able to answer the demands from our ever- growing worldwide customer base.
Everything at a glance - with the new two-colour-LEDs on the front of the microphone, important information can be read out at a glance. The current setting for both preattenuation and bass filter can be seen at the back.
Perfect Sound for All: Nine pickup patterns
Nine pickup patterns provide the perfect sound for every application - without compromising anything. Signal-bleeding from other sources can be minimised quickly and efficiently. More- over, for on-stage applications gain-before-feed- back can be maximised.
Play it safe: Lock Mode
Live-sound engineers as well as engineers for theatre, opera, or musical productions often use the same microphones for the same purposes every night, and may even install some microphones permanently. In Lock Mode, all microphone controls are disabled, so that the settings selected for a specific application (polar pattern, preattenuation pad, bass cut filter) cannot be changed unintentionally.
Not just for a moment: Peak Hold LED
The polar pattern indicator LEDs also provide an overload indication. With conventional peak indicators, overload peaks lasting only for a fraction of a second may easily escape your attention. The new peak hold function makes sure that you will notice even the shortest overload peak: If the microphone output level exceeds the overload limit, the currently active polar pattern LED will change to red for about three seconds.
