Topic: AKG 414 ULS vs. XLS [Poll]

[heikki]

Ideally I would like both the 480's and the 414 XLS's anyway so.........

...the only way to go   

[kindms]

We run the 414XLS/st and we have a set of 460's

The 414XLS/ST are a very nice set of mics. They are very sensitive. A few things not mentioned yet are they also offer:

Attenuation on the mic w/ 4 settings.
There is also several bass roll off settings ( I haven't used those at all yet)
They are supposed to be immune to RF

The only downside to running them is their size. They are definitely not a low profile setup. I love the way they sound. I still haven't run them enough since picking up the V3 but it is a very nice combo. We usually always run coincident unless I am feeling lazy.
