The C 414 LTD provides extremely low self-noise yet high head-
room. The only way to meet these strict engineering requirements
was to limit the powering options for both microphones to 48 V
phantom power to DIN/IEC only. This standard requires a posi-
tive voltage of 48 V with reference to the cable shield.

Do not connect the microphone to any power supply other
than a phantom power source (input with phantom power or
external phantom power supply) to DIN/IEC with a floating
connector, using a balanced cable with studio grade con-
nectors to IEC 268-12 only. This is the only way to ensure
safe and reliable operation.

We recommend the following methods to add phantom power
