Not sure what the difference is between the AKG C414 B-XLS, B-ULS, TLII and so on. Could someone please enlighten me. I used a C414 in a studio last month and loved how it worked with my vocals.

Get ready for one of the biggest agonies of mic purchases. I wanted 2 c414s for overheads and by gum the differences are so slight.
basically the XLIIs and TLIIs have a presence peak at 6K, this is supposedly for vocal use. But I think these mics are a little dark, so i welcomed this. Check out thelisteningsessions.com for samples of the TLII and ULS, theyre pretty much the same thing.
Now, (and ive been meaning to post this) I went to the Jazz at Lincoln Center Coca Cola Dizzy's club on wednesday. Basically this is a small jazz club and they were using TLIIs all over the place. 2 on the piano and 1 for each horn. Sounded fine...
So... bottom line, i wouldn't say there is MUCH difference between the two, other than the ULS has a transformer. Listen to the samples at thelisteningsessions.com and make up your own mind.
