| akg 414 spl |

|
i recently bought an akg c414 eb off ebay (for £300! bargain!)
I'm really really pleased with it.. the detail it picks up is fantastic.. (especially the bottom end detail, which was lacking on the nt2 i usually use for vocals).
just wondering if anyone can tell me wot the spl is for this mic? i'd like to try and mic up a guitar amp to capture the bottom end of a high gain setting.
cheers

I would give it as go and turn the gain on the desk up slowely and check the sound remains clear and un clipped.
I'd be surprised if you hurt the thing, you'll see them everywhere in live work too.
Great purchase!

looking at the figures, safest to stay under 140db
but i cant think of anything you would run that loud, your ears would hurt if you did.
