AKG C414 B-TL II Transformerless 4-Pattern Condenser Microphone Reviews

"Bright, pristine, and beautiful for vocals."
Feature:
Multiple patterns, windscreen and shockmount: not much else to ask for.

Value:
Spend 2-3k on a similar solid state, or buy this? I don't think you need to even think about it. This is an amazing mic for vocals and you aren't spending 2k on a high-end Neumann or a C12.

Sound:
For Vocals this thing is incredible. It is so present it is ridiculous. Very usable for guitars and high frequency instruments (horns, strings, etc.).

Overall:
This is really just a solid mic. It isn't a neutral mic, however. It is bright and alive, not flat and plain. It's multiple patterns are very useful and it sounds great on any lead type instrument.

Style of Music: Rock, Pop, Rap

"Great sound reproduction without a pre-amp"
I've owned this mic for 5 years, and have used it for every facit of recording. "NEVER" once have I been disappointed. The sound reproduction is remarkable. As a poor home recording guy I can't afford an expensive mic, but I've found I don't need one because I've got my "AKG".
