AKG Announces C 414 B-ULS/SE Special Edition MicrophonesUnder the Nickel Stereo mic's retro look is an all-modern design October 6, 2002
In honor of its historic C 414 EB microphone,
AKG Acoustics is introducing its new C 414 B-ULS/SE Special Edition Stereo
Set with a classic nickel finish. The microphone's finish resembles the
silver outer housing of the original C 414 EB that was produced between 1976
and 1986. Under the retro exterior, however, the C 414B-ULS/SE sports the
latest in AKG engineering. The computer-matched stereo set consists of two C
414B-ULS large-diaphragm,
multi-pattern, stereo condenser microphones.
The C 414-ULS/SE microphones utilize a revamped version of the CK
12 capsule. This particular capsule was also used in AKG's C 12 and C
24 microphones. This remodeled and modern capsule (which is also currently
used in the manufacture of C 12 VR and C 414B-TLII microphones) features a
special accentuation of high frequencies in the bands around 5 kHz and 10
kHz. The CK 12 capsule enables the C 414-ULS/SE microphone set to record
solo vocals or solo instruments without sounding metallic, harsh, or
brittle.
"The new C 414 B-ULS/SE Special Edition Stereo Set combines both legendary
sound and new technology," says Tom Stotler, AKG Acoustics U.S. Market
Development Manager for Music and Touring Sound. "Whether used live on stage
or recording in a studio, the microphones in the C 414-ULS/SE set deliver
crisp, transparent quality sound reproduction.
The C 414-ULS/SE Special Edition Stereo Set comes with two H 100 elastic
spider suspensions, two W 414 windscreens, and a H 50 stereo bar that allows
the user to mount both microphones on one microphone stand. These
microphones are packaged in a durable hard shell carrying case. The C 414
B-ULS/SE set lists for $ 2,100.00.
