AKG C414-EB
Audioproz Inv # 26054
SOLD
Large (dual)diaphram condensor mic. AKG factory replace, new element. Selectable pattern omni, figure 8, cardiod, hyper-cardiod. Includes black vinyl case and clip. Minor dents on windscreen only, otherwise excellent condition - tested good.
This is not the original CK12 capsule. In fact I avoid those unless the mic is in perfect condition, because I find most have now aged out of spec. As the gold flaking on these mylars ages, the element becomes deformed and the mic gets noisier. The element is also unable to carry the extreme high and low ends of the spectrum, making for a very midrange limited sound (although a lot of people describe this as “warm or thick”). They all seem to be a bit different too, due to wear (heat, stress, accumulation of spit, smoke, etc. ) which causes many different opinions in the studio. Strange truth is the original CK12 is a Beyer design and early elements were supplied by Beyer. In fact, you can get a real CK12 in a Beyer 740N (now out of production and increasing in value).
