AKG Announces C 414 B-ULS/SE Special Edition MicrophonesOct 06, 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. For more information, visit their web site at www.akg-acoustics.com. |
