Using the microphone
4.1
Introduction
Besides offering high headroom, minimum distortion, as well as temperature and humidity
resistant construction, the microphone is suited for a uniquely wide range of applications.
The standard version C414 XLS features a very smooth frequency response and the
typical sound of AKG large‑diaphragm microphones. This sound has hardly changed over
the many years the C414 has been in production, and the C414 has become an "industry
standard" against which most competitive or new products are compared.
You can use the C414 XLS for most musical instruments. Selector 1 lets you optimally
adjust the microphone's polar pattern to the instrument to be recorded and the recording
environment.
4.2
Bass Cut Filter
The selectable bass cut filters at 40 Hz, 80 Hz, and 160 Hz will effectively cancel out any
unwanted noise such as fan noise from air conditioning systems, etc., or low‑frequency
noise due to floor vibrations, handling noise, etc. without affecting the sound of the recor‑
ded voice or instrument on tape.
4.3
Preattenuation Pad
The selectable preattenuation pads allow you to increase the microphone's headroom.
Remember to check that the equipment connected to the microphone (microphone pre‑
amp, mixer input, recorder input) can handle the maximum output level of the microphone
without causing distortion.
4.4
Stand Mounting
The supplied H85 shock mount has a standard 3/8" thread insert so you can mount the
microphone on almost every commercial stand or suspension with a 3/8" thread.
To fix the shock mount on a stand with a 5/8" thread, remove the thread insert and screw
the shock mount directly on the stand.
To remove the shock mount from the microphone, rotate the bayonet‑type lock at the
lower end of the shock mount CCW to the point that the shock mount unlocks.
