This large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed on the basis of feedback from sound engineers who have used the C 12A, C 12B, C 414comb, C 414EB-P 48, C 414B-ULS, and C 414B-TL II microphones in recording studios around the world for years. Using advanced, reliable components that provide more functions in the same space, the C 414B-XLS meets the highest professional standards and will withstand the typical tough handling in the recording studio for many years. The electronic circuitry of the microphone has been redesigned to achieve completely linear transfer characteristics of all electrical parameters. Extremely low self-noise and high headroom add up to a dynamic range of approximately 134 dB (A-weighted) that is far superior to figures quoted for conventional condenser microphones and other studio equipment. 1 Safety/Description 16 C 414B-XLS / C 414B-XL II Downloaded from manuals search engine 1.4.1 Controls Note: Fig. 1: Polar pattern selector. A dual-diaphragm transducer allows you to select one of several polar patterns. The diaphragm is made of a plastic foil that is gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent shorting to the back electrode even at extremely high sound pressure levels. The all-metal body adds to the rejection of RF interference so you can use the microphone near transmitter stations, along with wireless microphones or other communications equipment.
