About this deal

Mit dem Baby Bottle hat es ein zweites Blue-Mikrofon in den Test geschafft und eröffnet mit einem Preis von 308,- Euro (Baby Bottle SL: 369,- Euro) unsere Mittelklasse. Wie auch beim Bluebird ist das Design unverwechselbar, die Korpusfarbe wurde allerdings mit Schwarz dezenter gewählt. Das sE 4400a ist beileibe kein schlechtes Mikro, wie mein alter Test schon aufgezeigt hat, für Gesang wird es aber sicher nie zu meinen Favoriten zählen. Violet Design The Wedge Deployed in stereo arrays....M/S, Blulein, and coincident or non coincident...the pairs performed well and seemed to be well matched. Used them on 12 ft boom stands over a choir and they performed very well in an application i tend to favor SDC's for.

Neutral sounding, not too bright, fairly warm, natural and very handy, flexible. It's pretty hard not to think of the beloved 414 here. Auch die Schaltmöglichkeiten wurden vereinfacht. Geblieben ist ein Pad bei -20 dB und der LowCut bei 300 Hz. Dafür hat sich der Geräuschpegel nahezu verdoppelt, stellt aber mit 13 dB immer noch einen guten Wert dar. Anyone from the audio world looking at the sE 4400a microphone is bound to think “ Oh – an AKG 414 derivative!”. The shape, albeit somewhat more rounded and modernly pleasing to the eye, and a bit smaller, along with the twin “4s” in the model name all ring a bell. Damit hätten wir die nächsten acht Mikros durch, auch hier wieder eine Vergleichsgrafik über Werte und Ausstattung. Due to the wide dynamic range of the classical guitar, and the emphasis placed on dynamics in classical music, the classical guitar can be one of the hardest instruments to properly record. A good starting place is to point the microphone at the body of the guitar, around one to two feet away.

A three-way high-pass filter offers bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz. A three-way pad offers 10dB or 20dB of attenuation, with a maximum SPL of 140dB. The handy 100Hz bass cut filter also means that you can reduce the proximity effect and cut out any "rumbling" that can occur with movement of air when a mic is placed close to an instrument or sound source. This is also a big help when recording outdoors or in a windy environment.

Unexpectedly I haven't found much use for them on cabs (guitar and bass), i was never too happy with them on a double bass and they are not my first choice for classical guitars and brass instruments.

The Austrian Audio OC18 is a high performance cardioid microphone that excels in classical guitar applications. Clean and detailed with fantastic frequency response, this microphone boasts gorgeous musicality and sounds incredibly premium. Die Frage, ob das C 214 nun einfach ein C 414 ist, bei dem eine Kapsel weggelassen wurde, möchte ich mit „nein“ beantworten. Das C 214 ist ein eigenständiges Mikrofon, das durchaus die Klangästhetik der Doppelmembran mit übernimmt, diese aber in Auflösung und Durchsetzungsvermögen nicht ganz erreichen kann. Dafür kostet das C 214 gerade mal etwas mehr als ein Drittel des größeren Modells und liefert dafür ein mehr als respektables Ergebnis. sE Electronics sE 4400a Das Audio-Technica zeigt, wieso es seit Jahren eine feste Größe in den Tonstudios ist. JZ Microphones BH-2 Although my focus is on sound reinforcement and music recording, I can also see this mic becoming popular for film, theatre and TV applications. The sE 4400a is designed to work well under the glare of lights and its positioning flexibility, small size and excellent off-axis response would no doubt help to deliver great results when used for production or location recording. GREAT EXPECTATIONS

For example, the sE4400a is easy to position so its capsule is just peeking over the top of the rim of a snare drum. Speaking of the capsule, it's based on a retuned version of the capsule in the SE2200A (I wish SE Electronics were consistent with capitalization of their product names), which I consider one of the best values in microphones; I use it more often than mics in my closet that cost ten times as much. In direct comparison to the SE2200A (Tape Op #48), the sE4400a in cardioid mode brings out significantly more of the snare drum's punch whether up close, at medium distances, or placed far. I can hear much more resonance of the drum's body. There is perceivably less of the actual snare wires coming through, no matter how I angle the mic, but also less of the undesirable "spit". Hypercardioid and figure-8 modes are useful for rejecting high-hat bleed, but of course, polar-response selection also affects how much room and "floor" (reflection of the snare from the floor -or in my case, a clipboard lying flat on the rug below the snare) the mic captures. While the microphone is excellent for all sorts of classical guitars, rooms, and playing styles, a decent preamp is sometimes needed to get the best sound out of this microphone. The microphone also can sound a bit stiff in smaller rooms. But if you already own it's Austrian grandparent, or any other all-rounder, or a mic you are using to record clean and play with the sound in post-production (lo-fi, dirt, tube fx…) my advice would be, go look elsewhere.The sE Electronic SE8 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone perfect for miking up a classical guitar. The microphone sounds sweet, with a relatively flat, natural response for an overall natural sound reproduction, with extreme realism. The microphone is also surprisingly forgiving without sacrificing any detail or depth.

Natürlich kann auch das AKG-Portfolio ein Produkt im mittleren Preisbereich anbieten. Wie der Name assoziiert, soll das C 214 ein einfacheres C 414 mit der Reduktion auf eine einzelne Membran und Nierencharakteristik sein. Uncompressed bass comes through the new patent pending low turbulence reflex port design, Laminar Integrated Port - LIP. The Genelec M Series products include several new, innovative technologies to bring you the finest audio qualityWhen your project requires a powerful performance with no sacrifice in quality, the Genelec 8030C active studio monitor is designed to exceed your expectations. The 8030C, introduced in 2017, even delivers 4 dB higher SPL and has a lower energy consumption than earlier models of 8030.
