Just FYI, there are two different 414 EB's...the regular EB and the EB P48. The Regular EB will run on any kind of phantom power from 12-48, while the P48 only uses 48 volt. Also, the P48 414 EB's SHOULD have teflon-ringed CK12's. The EB's have brass-ringed CK12's, which are the C12 capsule. Last fall, I scored a pair of EB's with brass CK12s and a Shure SM-5 for a grand. The bummer is that one of the 414's sounds like it's got some capacitor issues as it just makes a bunch of noise, but the other one is GORGEOUS. It's what 414's SHOULD sound like. I've really been enjoying it on vocals through a TAB/Funkenwerks V78. It's airy, but from like 2 to 6k is just like creamy and dimensional and rich.
I'm all about them.
