Frequently Asked Questions

It's based on the C414’s design, but utilizes a simplified capsule construction, resulting in a slightly less expansive soundstage and overall detail.
It's a functional shockmount, but more demanding users might prefer a higher-end aftermarket option for maximum vibration isolation.
A preamp with at least 60dB of gain and a clean, transparent sound will be ideal to ensure sufficient signal without introducing excessive noise.
