AKG C314 vs AKG C414 XLS

A test of all polar patters and some interesting finds on why the C313's perceivable self-noise might be actually lower then the specs suggest.

Wow! That self-noise test was incredibly revealing. Great review!

The highs are always a game-changer. The 414 sounds pro and has pro highs. The 314 isn’t bad, but its highs feel cheaper and a bit harsh, just like its brother, the 214. Every time you switch from the 314 to the 414 and back, saying 'Sss' words, the difference really pops out of the monitor.

Thanks for your video. Since I record mostly Tenor Saxophone, what would you recommend going with the, 314 or 414?

[@generalcontrol]

They're very similar. That's the whole point.

La mejor review que he visto nunca! Enhorabuena! Maravilloso

[@AbcdeAbcde-ug7gf]

Please I have a question. Do you make something for white noise or the sound is purely recorded without any treatment ? Thank you

[@generalcontrol]

The audio track has a compressor on it.
