do they make these or is the quality control on these mics so good that they don't need to match them? i'm thinking about buying a pair of these and was wondering if they came as a stereo match pair.
peace,

no huge reason to buy a stereo pair, the akg stuff is pretty good in qc. if you are going to buy them somewhere they have them in stock you can always hand match
AKG doesn't stereo match, but my experience with them is that they didn't have to. I've mixed and matched Jeff's 480's with mine and they're all 4 exactly the same in practice.
a lot of the higher end mic companies don't match anymore, neumann doesn't... AKG is certainly a high end mic company
ditto :D
You can however, get a pair of 414's matched from the factory. I think they are only in a special addition run for a limited time. I believe I mentioned this in another thread.

no doubt, might have to give akg an email/call and ask why.... ;)
perhaps because the 414's are used more commonly as a stereo pair than their other mics?
I'm just guessing
