1 Description
Unlike earlier versions of the C 414, the C 414 LTD provides three
separate dual pushbuttons for selecting the polar pattern, preat-
tenuation pad, and bass cut filter, each with an LED bar indicat-
ing the selected setting. The selectors and indicator LEDs are
only active as long as power (48 V phantom power) to the mi-
crophone is on.
To select the desired value or polar pattern, press the desired
arrow on the appropriate selector once or several times.
A yellow/green LED above the appropriate value or symbol
is lit to indicate the selected setting.
To select a different setting after having reached the last po-
sition available, press the opposite arrow on the selector.
(Pressing the same arrow again will not set the parameter
back to its initial position.)
When you switch phantom power to the microphone off, the
last active settings of all three selectors will be saved in mem-
ory and automatically loaded as soon as you switch phan-
tom power to the microphone back on.
To prevent settings from being changed unintentionally, you
can lock all three selectors:
Press and hold one of the arrows on the polar pattern selec-
tor (1) for at least 3 seconds.
To unlock the selectors, press and hold the polar pattern se-
lector (1) for at least 3 seconds again or disconnect the mi-
crophone from power (48 V phantom power).
1 Polar Pattern Selector*)
Selector 1 on the microphone front panel (refer to fig. 1) lets you
select one of five different polar patterns so you can use the mi-
crophone in the most diverse recording situations. All polar pat-
terns are largely frequency-independent for realistic and
uncolored off-axis sound.

2 Preattenuation Pad Selector*)
Selector 2 on the microphone rear panel (refer to fig. 2) lets you
increase the headroom by 6 dB, 12 dB, or 18 dB for distortion-
free close-in recording. The preattenuation pads prevent the mi-
crophone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from
overloading the miniature transformers used in mixer input
stages, etc.
