Topic: CA 11's vs. CA 14's

Would someone be kind enough to explain the difference between the CA 11's and CA 14's? Apparently they are both the same price.

This one's been beaten to death a dead horse as well. 

http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=120514.msg1609469#msg1609469 is a good place to start.

Size difference, for one, some sound differences (not as signifcant with the version II CA-11's).  The CA-14's are the better bet in most peoples' eyes/ears but it also depends on what you're doing with them.  Try paging through this forum as it's been heavily discussed.

CA11 - card or omni (you can change the cap)
CA14 - card or omni (manufactured in either card or onmi, but you can't change the cap, as the windscreen is integral)
ca-11 and ca-14 have almost identical frequency response in the mid range and here is some info Chris posted a while ago:
The ca-14 is a larger mic with a better overall quality of sound deeper bass the high end is about the same now that I have improved the ca-11 the ca-14 uses a larger 14 mm capsule the ca-11 uses a smaller 8 mm capsule. Both mics are good The ca-14 is more forgiving of placement where as the ca-11 needs to be up high and pointed more directly at the sound source.

Thank you kindly for the quick responses.

This is going to change in the next few weeks the CA-14 is going to go up to $139 per pair the ca-11 will stay at $129.00 this is because the ca-14 is much more labor intensive to build than the ca-11.
