Heard it stated this is a unidirectional 414. I'm aware of the variety of 414's but is there any similarity in sound?

Hi everyone,

I'm about to upgrade my mic from AKG Perception 120 to Neumann TLM 103 .. the thing is.. will the AKG shockmount be compatible with the TLM 103 or do i need an adapter?

Thanks,

Bos... (or whomever else might be able to help)

I have an AKG SolidTube that I really like, although in the last week or so, it's become noisy.

When I say "noise", I don't mean buzz or hum, crackling or other familiar signs of problems.

This past week, a friend of mine returned my AKG SolidTube Condesner mic after using it for the last several years.

I had forgotten how warm and smooth this mic sounds.

I know it was never accepted to the level that AKG had hoped for at the time of its release, and my suspicions as to why are below.

I am a hobbyist and have been recording with an AKG c1000 mic for a 5 or 6 years and feel like its time to try something new. I was breifly looking at a RODE NT1A which is around 250$, but am just beginning my search. Any suggestions?
It will mostly be for acoustic guitar (occasionally used for vocals).

Hi,

I have the possibility to buy a pair of Akg C 391 B or two AT4051.
Both quite the same price (around 400€), the AT4051 slightly cheaper.

Hi all,

I was thinking about getting a pair of Oktava Mk 012

My main interest is to use it live for recording the sound of some dancers and and some instrument (horn+flute), so the room is very important for me.
A totally different alternative would be the AKG Perception 420, that is very sensitive (i need that), but i'm afraid of the feedback during the live.

OK, so...
I have an AKG C 414B-XLS. A recent vintage, it has all the fancy electronic switching that they've employed
in their newer versions of that model. Silver-colored mesh, I like this mic for mois better than the U87 in the cabinet.
What is the difference between this one and the C 414B-ULS?
And what can you tell me about the C 414B TL II ?
I have a

Hello Recordings.org

My name is Viktor Reddersen, and I am new to this forum and to the world of different mics as well.

I got an AKG C34 from a closed studio last week. Now; I don't know a lot about microphones, since I'm "just" working as a radio journalist. But anyway I would like to ask you, what kind of microphone I just got.
