Feb 1, 2007 12:00 PM, By Eddie Ciletti My focus this month is on the AKG C-414, a venerable studio condenser mic that has about as many permutations as the Universal Audio 1176.
At first glance, this might appear to be a history of the 414 when it's really about understanding the technology, the mic's inner workings and trying to keep it working. The modern C-414 hails from the original C-12, shown; the C-12A that followed it used a Nuvistor tube and debuted the familiar boxy body shape associated with the later 414 Series. This story started with a collection of broken mics waiting for a quiet, undistracted moment. The sad thing about many of these specimens was their physical condition — AKG 414s with their head assemblies and grilles snapped off, or dented Neumann U87s with broken switches, and filthy and punctured capsules. CHARGE IT UPCondenser mics start with a polarized capsule, meaning that a charge is put on the capsule that will vary with changes in sound pressure.

CANADIAN AUDIO DISTRIBUTORS - APEX 460 MODIFICATION - How to. The Apex 460 / C12 Mod. One of the biggest trends in the pro audio world in the last 10 years, apart from the resurgence of the ribbon microphone, has been the modification of lower-end gear to yield high-end results.
In many cases, a simple tube or transformer swap can immediately make a noticeable difference in the sound. In some cases, additional circuit changes can transform a good piece of equipment into great equipment that might rival the performance of gear many times its price. Perhaps nowhere is this more prevalent these days than with microphones. Not only are there a ton of sites that offer DIY solutions for mic mods, but there are several companies and boutique “mic modders” who offer these services for a reasonable price.
Reasonable, that is, when you consider the price of the mics that these modified specimens are said to rival. U-47 in perfect condition? As a studio owner, I’ve rented plenty of microphones over the years. Apex Electronics 460. Apex Electronics 460.

Avantone CV-12 Frontend audio. Telefunken Ela M 251. Telefunken Ela M 251 Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone Designed and manufactured by AKG at the request of Telefunken, the Ela M 251 was a 3-pattern tube mic built around AKG’s famed CK12 capsule.
Telefunken had never manufactured microphones, but instead served as the distributor — and brand name — for mics made by Neumann and AKG. Notably, the early U 47 microphone was branded by Telefunken, despite having been designed and manufactured by Neumann. When Neumann began distributing its products under its own name, Telefunken was reportedly left without a large-diaphragm condenser in its product line, and commissioned AKG to develop a replacement. Two different glass tubes were used in the Ela M 251 microphone: JJ audio mods.
