All of these improvements are answers to requests from ever-demanding recording studios, broadcast stations and concert engineers, but with the basic sonic character of the legendary C 414 unaltered.FeaturesHigh sound pressure level capability and wide dynamic rangeCompletely immune to electrostatic and electro-magnetic interference from digital gear, computer monitors, etc. thanks to solid metal housing and transformerless output stageThree switchable bass cut filters and three pre-attenuation pads with LEDs for quick visual indicationAll switchable components operate in low impedance circuits for ultra-high reliability even in extremely humid conditionsOptional R 414 remote control unit offers full control of all parameters via standard microphone cable and 3-pin XLR-type connectorsSpecificationsType 1-inch large-diaphragm pressure gradient microphonePolar pattern Omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure eightFrequency range 20 to 20,000 Hz (see frequency response traces)Sensitivity 23 mV/Pa (-33 dBV) ± 0.5 dBMax.
