The original vintage 414 sound
With the CK12 capsule according to the original specifications, the sound of our kit is faithful to the original microphone found in the world’s largest studios.
Limited Edition!
Small but strong!
The schematic is inspired of the original vintage microphone, based on the CK12 capsule, we decided to make the transformer less version based on the vintage C414TL which allows us to save on distortion as it is only 0.03% or less than 4% compared to a tube microphone.
The electronic circuitry of this microphone has been redesigned to achieve completely linear transfer characteristics of all electrical parameters. Extremely low self-noise and high headroom add up to a dynamic range of approximately 134 dB (A-weighted) that is far superior to figures quoted for conventional condenser microphones and other studio equipment.
Our design uses high quality FET, low cut filters and a selection of polar patterns that will allow you a wide variety of creative and recording possibilities.
We also thought about mobility with the design of a quality aluminum case, ideal for your outdoor recordings or simply to preserve your microphone!
All components are carefully matched and selected in our workshop. We attach great importance to the precision of our circuits in order to be as accurate as possible compared to the original.
