High sound pressure level capability and wide dynamic range Completely immune to electrostatic and electro-magnetic interference from digital gear, computer monitors, etc. thanks to solid metal housing and transformerless output stage Three switchable bass cut filters and three pre-attenuation pads with LEDs for quick visual indication All switchable components operate in low impedance circuits for ultra-high reliability even in extremely humid conditions Optional R 414 remote control unit (under development) offers full control of all switchable parameters via standard microphone cable and 3-pin XLR-type connectors Specifications: Type: 1-inch large-diaphragm pressure gradient microphone Polar pattern: Omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure eight Frequency range: 20 to 20,000 Hz (see frequency response traces) Sensitivity: 23 mV/Pa (-33 dBV) 0.5 dB Max. SPL: 200/400/800/1600 Pa = 140/146/152/158 dB SPL (0/-6/-12/-18 dB) (for 0.5% THD) Equivalent noise level (CCIR 468-2): 20 dB (0 dB preattenuation) Equivalent noise level: 6 dB-A (0 dB preattenuation) (DIN 45 412, A-weighted) Signal/noise ratio: 88 dB Preattenuation pad: -6 dB, -12 dB, -18 dB, switchable Bass cut filter slope: 12 dB/octave at 40 Hz and 80 Hz; 6 dB/octave at 160 Hz Impedance: Recommended load impedance: >= 2,200 ohms Supply voltage: 48 V phantom power to DIN/IEC Current consumption: approximately 4.5 mA Dynamic range: 134 dB minimum Environment: Temperature range: -10 C to +60 C (14 F to 140 F) Relative humidity: 95% (+20 C/68 F), 85% (+60 C/140 F) Connector: 3-pin XLR to IEC Dimensions: 50 x 38 x 160 mm (2.0 x 1.5 x 6.3 in.) Net weight: 300 g (10.6 oz.) Patent(s): AT 395.225, DE 4.103.784, JP 2.815.488 Absolute reliability The solid metal housing and transformerless output stage combine to make the C 414 B-XL microphones immune to electrical interference from digital equipment, video monitors or from rf from wireless microphone or other communications systems. Five polar patterns The twin-diaphragm system gives you a choice of five different polar patterns (omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure eight). The diaphragm is made from a special gold-sputtered plastic foil and the gold layer is deposited on the diaphragm only on the outer sides to prevent short circuiting to the back plate if strong blasts of air are applied. Elastic capsule suspension Structurally-transmitted vibrations that interfere and color the sound are almost completely eliminated thanks to a new elastic capsule suspension system. Three switchable pre-attenuation levels Pre-attenuation levels are controlled by changes in the polarization voltage of the capsule and permit increases of 6, 12 or 18 dB in the maximum sound pressure level for close-up recording or for use on high output sources. Three switchable bass filters The switchable bass-cut filters reduce sonic coloration and the risk of lowfrequency distortion. The slope of the 40 and 80 Hz filters is more than 12 dB-per-octave and these are especially useful in combating wind noise or vibrations from stage floors. The 160 Hz filter has a gentler 6 dB-per-octave slope useful in minimizing proximity effect. Predictable performance even in humid conditions To minimize the negative effects of humidity, all switching circuits are located in a sealed low-impedance section to prevent problems. To test the stability of our microphones' performance, they are tested in simulated climatic conditions between -25 C (-13 F) and +65 C (+149 F) as well as relative humidity as high as 99% (immediately below point of condensation) above +20 C (+68 F). The new C 414 B models can handle temperature extremes anywhere and still deliver perfect performance. Matched stereo pairs The new C 414 B models are also available in factory-matched pairs. The matched pairs consist of two microphones that come closest to each other in sensitivity and frequency response when used in the cardioid mode. The kit includes all the standard accessories of the deluxe package (excluding the PF 80) along with a stereo bar and proof of performance charts. Optional remote control All switchable functions of the microphone can also be controlled by the optional R 414 remote control unit (available by the end of 2004). The remote control transmits its commands to the microphone over conventional two-conductor shielded microphone cables to maintain complete interface compatibility with your other equipment.
