Well this is why your 414 might sound like poop. They break down over time. Attachment Deleted The foam goes to shit, gets everywhere. But check this out I'm thinking of offering this as a mod or upgrade for any of those capsules Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedTotally rebuild with 1 or 3 micron, I will post some audio samples and see what you think . I honestly was surprised at the result. Thinking of making a C12 and a 251 tone options. For those who have them out there you think that you would be interested in doing this. Also this mod should work on all the newer 414's that have the led on the patterns switch. I will try to get the audio samples up soon. Randy K is going to have his done so we will see if he will post his audio samples

I'd LOVE to turn some 414s into C12As. with the little testing we done its like the mod that i do when installing the edge mount capsules. (C12A) it won't cost as much as putting new capsules in. So all the mics that have those capsule ( a lot ) even the C12vr we can hot rod now

You know....local boy says he's got a 414eb he doesn't use a lot....I'm not sure I'd love a 1micron anything....it's not a brass ring but a later plastic ring....FWIW....

in a great room, with some depth creating distance from the mic, 1 micron is badass.

I'm never likely going to be in a great room again.

I'm never likely going to be in a great room again. my room/s is/are getting dangerously close to done, i think it's going to sound killer, a noise floor about 24db ambient?(cricket dependant) you are welcome to come out to SoCal anytime and do some recording/mixing Jamie, you too Jess 8) I just got the JK MKU47 back from Shann with a 3 micron K47 capsule, as opposed to the 6 micron original, i haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, I will tonight and give my initial thoughts...
