... AKG 414 B-ULS models that have been reworked. The output transformers are gone...
So you are in essence saying:"I recommend these two mics, but only with my upgrades."Which may be skirting the ground rules of this forum.Would you recommend these mics for the thread starter's applications without your modifications?
If you don't like transformers, why don't you use the sister model AKG C414 B-TL?Personally I prefer the transformer version.Despite what one might expect I consider the bass range more controlled.Might be the natural cut in the subsonic range the transformer offers.RegardsKai
