AKG Acoustics C 414 manual Performance

The Anatomy

for great

Performance

One-inch edge-terminated capsule

gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure maximum reliability on the road

•ultrahigh precision parts with tolerances inthe region of microns

•assembled with great care in our factory in Vienna

Integrated capsule suspension

eliminates structurally-transmitted vibrations that interfere and cover the sound

Nine polar patterns

the one-inch twin-diaphragm capsule enables to choose the perfect setting for every application

Lock Mode

for live-sound applications and permanent installations all controls can be easily disabled • settings cannot be changed unintentionally

Transformerless Output ensures 152 dB dynamic range • low impedance

over the entire audio spectrum • gold-plated

3-pin XLR connector contacts for loss-free signal connection • extreme low self noise (6 dB only)

Three switchable pre-attenuation levels

controlled by the polarisation voltage enable for close-up recording or for high output sources up to 158 dB SPL

Three switchable bass filters

two steep 40/80 Hz filters @ 12 dB/octave reduce wind noise or vibrations from stage floors • One gentle 160 Hz filter @ 6 dB/octave for minimising proximity effect

Peak Hold LED

overload indication with peak hold function • indicates even shortest overload peaks

Leading-edge technology and state-of-the-art components

shortest possible signal path for maximum performance • high impedance converter stage for extra protection against moisture • DC converter for stable, noise-free operating
