Title: AKG C417 Omni Lav Mic - Opinions?
Post by: nathan_g on February 19, 2014, 12:20:08 PM

Anyone ever run these? They're certainly small enough but how do they sound? I couldn't find any samples on archive.org.

I agree.. Would love to hear some input form someone who has used these for audio recording. I like trying mics and things that aren't "of the norm".

I have no experience with them at all.  Looking at the specs, though, they are quite a bit noisier and have worse SPL handling than some of the small omnis popular here (4060/4061, B3, MCE400)...
