Review: A wonderful, low-noise, Austrian mic - Excellent Mic. I own many mics and they all have their own characteristics. The standout characteristic of this microphone is it's very low self-noise. At 50dB gain, in my "quiet" room, on a very quiet Liquid Channel preamp, I register ~ -110dBFS across the spectrum. This is sensational for my recordings of quiet sound effects and acoustic guitar. Particularly with an acoustic guitar, paired with a small diaphragm condenser mic, the sound is just beautiful. Quiet picking or a strum sustaining never gets caught up in the noise floor. I can crank the track all the way up in post and never hear more than room noise. Vocals are great on this mic, both speaking and singing. I do adjust EQ a bit in post to boost some of the high end, but it works out fine. It handles loud and quiet segments beautifully without distortion or large swings in volume. Some of my mics require much more adjustment of the singers distance during recording than this mic. And since the noise floor is so low, I can compress my tracks much better. It is expensive but it is a tough-built, all around mic with exceptional audio quality. Think of the price as relating to a lifetime of use, especially if you plan to make money recording with it. It will work so well for you, put up with abuse, and resell for a good price.
Review: One of the Best - hands down this is one of the best microphones i've ever owned. and in my opinion, it's priced pretty reasonably for the quality you get.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good for my xbox?**
A: You will need phantom power, xboxes do not provide phantom power, to answer your question, no this would not be good for your xbox, at all. Please let us know if we can assist you further, thank you!

**Q: Is this xlr 48 volt phantom power ??**
A: It requires phantom power of a range between 9 volts and 52 volts.  It will work with 48 volts as this is within the range it's designed to operate with.

**Q: Is this the current model or a discontinued model?**
A: Their latest C414s, as far as I know, have nine electronically switchable polar patterns. There are two variations, the C414XLS and the C414XLII. The XLII has a slight presence peak for vocals. I have a matched pair of C414XLS. All I'll ever need.

**Q: Anyone out there using the  c214 to record wooden flutes? (native american, shakuhachi, quena, irish, etc).  how's it sound?**
A: I haven’t used it to record wooden flutes, but I have used it to record saxophone.  I think it would record these kinds of instruments just fine.  I would recommend not close miking - give the sound room to breathe.  24” is a good estimate.
