This large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed
on the basis of feedback from sound engineers who have 
used the C 12A, C 12B, C 414comb, C 414EB-P 48,
C 414 LTD-ULS, and C 414 LTD-TL II microphones in recording
studios around the world for years. Using hand-selected ad-
vanced, reliable components that provide more functions in the
same space, the C 414 LTD meets the highest professional stan-
dards and will withstand the typical tough handling in the record-
ing studio for many years.
The electronic circuitry of the microphone has been redesigned
to achieve completely linear transfer characteristics of all electri-
cal 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 mi-
crophones and other studio equipment.
A dual-diaphragm transducer allows you to select one of several
polar patterns. The diaphragm is made of a plastic foil that is
gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent shorting to the back
electrode even at extremely high sound pressure levels.
The all-metal body adds to the rejection of RF interference so
you can use the microphone near transmitter stations, along with
wireless microphones or other communications equipment.
