Advanced Audio CM414 FET Condenser Microphone

Large dual-diaphragm, 3-pattern FET condenser microphone based on the early AKG C414eb
MFR# CM414

Product Description

The Advanced Audio CM414 is a large dual-diaphragm, 3-pattern fet microphone based on the early AKG C414eb. The CM414 response is very smooth up to 8 kHz, then rises to about 4 dB at 15 kHz, adding an “airy” quality to the sound. The CM414 has a more present sound than the later AKG C414/P48.

The Advanced Audio CM414 features a 34mm capsule with 6-micron-thick German mylar diaphragms. This capsule is very accurate and has a smooth frequency response that matches within 1.5 dB, the response of the capsules used in the AKG C12 and early C414eb microphones. This is the same capsule used in Advanced's popular CM12se tube microphone.

The CM414 uses a two-stage Class A FET circuit similar to the one found in the original C414. The FET is buffered by a discrete transistor then coupled into the output transformer, a strategy superior to the single-FET method used in the Neumann U87. This increases the overall headroom by 14 dB making it ideal for capturing drum, percussion & grand piano. The CM414 has a -10 dB pad, a low-frequency roll-off switch, and 3-way pattern switch on the body.

  • 34mm dual back-plate with 6-micron German mylar skinned dual diaphragm

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
