AKG C414 vs. Shure KSM44? - HomeRecording.com
Jan 16, 2005 · The ADK TL - costing $499 or less - is a great alternative to AKG 414's. I use TL's and 414's and recommend them both often. And as a long-time user of 414's - will often select a TL over a 414. All the mics in the ADK Audiophile Series are excellent and will give better sonic performance for the money than their more expensive equivalents.
Thoughts on AKG C414 XLII VS Neumann u87 for voice over?
Jul 17, 2021 · A starter LDC that is multiple pattern, the AKG P420 is a solid budget recommendation. $100-150. You get omni / 8 / cardio, a pad, a bass cut.. If you told people the AKG P420 was a 414 XLII , you would fool a lot of people. Yeah, everyone usually likes the 414's. Sensitive at 28 mV/Pa , zingy even.
Rode NT2 vs AKG414 | HomeRecording.com
Apr 19, 2003. #2. As far as the 414 goes, it really depends largely on the model and year it came out. AKG is one of those companies that has a notorious habbit of changing everything they make every year, and frankly I've given up interest/desire in keeping up with all the models of the 414, although there are some on this board who know all ...
AKG C 414 on electric guitar? - HomeRecording.com
Aug 16, 2005. #2. The 414 excels at recording acoustic instruments, whether it be on a drum kit, piano, acoustic guitar, etc. And for amps 414's can do well with cleaner tones, like those coming off of a Roland Jazz Chorus or a clean setting on a Fender amp. But if you want to put a mic on a cranked distorted amp for rock, that's not really ...
AKG 414, BULS or TL-II? - HomeRecording.com
Dec 7, 2002 · AKG tries to claim the 414B-TLII has the same capsule as the old C12, but they do not. The manufacturing process is completely different. The process for the old C12 was very labor intensive, and very inconsistent. The new capsules are made faster, and more consistent.

AKG C414 on acoustic guitar - HomeRecording.com
Apr 1, 2005 · That's enough for now. My album "Reunion" was pretty much done with the Taylor, the Avalon, the Joemeek, a C414, a B.L.U.E. Kiwi, AKG C2000B, and a pair of C-4's. Any song on the album, except the rare electric cuts, involve the Taylor and the C414, except "Goody's Song", which was recorded DI with a Fishman Blender into the Joemeek.
Rode NT2-A vs AKG C414 vs Neumann TLM 103
Dec 9, 2021 · I was originally leaning towards the AKG C414 but I heard some samples of the Rode NT2-A and liked it a lot. I think I like the AKG C414 more than the Neumann TLM 103 specifically for mid range female voices, but the TLM 103 is often compared to the AKG C414 so curious what you guys think.
AKG C414 XLII vs RODE K2 on vocals - HomeRecording.com
Jun 24, 2013 · But my understanding is that the C414 is a utility mic, which means it doesn't offer a lot in the way of 'character' but can be used on a lot of different sources and sound great. The K2, being a tube mic, has a bit of mojo. Which may sound 200% awesome on …
Lower-cost alternatives to the AKG c414 for electric guitar
Sep 15, 2020. #2. The AKG214 is pretty bright. The Audio Technica 30 and 40 series are both good for your intended usage, and can be had for less cash used. Honestly there are a number of mics at this price range that can handle the job well, especially if you can find a good used model.
