 AKG 414 stereo mic -> Sony TC-158 deck; MAC > [DAT?] > CDR (no intermediate cassette generations)

No. While there were a few LD stereo mics made by AKG, the 414s are not. You are looking at a source error, and may never know for sure.

maybe it was two 414s?

maybe it was two 414s?

This is my bet too.  AKG sells individual mics and they also sell a matched stereo pair.  I would infer the lineage info to mean the latter - that a matched pair was used.  Either that or a stereo mic was used and the lineage is just written wrong.

It sort of depends on what exactly you mean by AKG414. There has been quite a few different microphones with that name.

The original (first) 414 did use the CK12 brass capsule, same as used in the famous C12 mic. There was a stereo version of that called C24 (using valves though, the 414 is solid state).

A later incarnation of  "stereo 414" was the 422. Even later is the 426.

im guessing they meant to write stereo mics, and maybe just left out the s at the end of mics

and fwiw, this show was on the day I was born guess I should DL it just because of the history on that day. thanks for the link

Or

There was the C 422 - this was a stereo mic.
