- In this microphone shootout we compare 4 large diaphragm condenser microphones from € 198 to € 1.500. As one of our contestants is the Slate ML1 which can emulate other much more expensive microphones, we decided to spice up this comparison by adding 2 microphone modelling plug ins: Antares Mic Mod and IK Multimedia Mic Room. How does the AKG C414 XLS emulating a Sony C800G sound compared to the Slate ML1 doing the same? Let's find out.

Mazal Tov on these gorgeous and haunting vocals and composition. Even my 16 yr old daughter was drawn in and curious.
May I ask what mics and technique were used to record the piano? The piano sound is exquisite as well! Bravo
Thank you for you kind words! The piano sound in this shootout is the combination of two Kontakt-Libraries from Native Instruments. It's the "Grandeur" combined with the "Una Corda". The "Una Corda" adds some mechanical noise and overtones to the very clean sounding "Grandeur".
What a great voice!
Thank you!
This was fun. Having done my own shootout video like this, I found Mic Mod EFX and IK Mic Room were fantastic options if you have a decent source mic.
Excellent mind blowing cool review. You both are excellent teachers. I am subscribing your channel.
Amazing voice!
Thank you!
loved this. More please. So honest and fun and exciting. Thank you. I am a c414 XLS fan as well
Thank you! We have already other videos in the pipeline ....
I think overall my favorite was the 414xls. Very pure, intimate, & natural.
That TLM49 is extremely seductive while being fairly natural. I would’ve liked a Shure KSM44 or 37 thrown in the mix along with maybe a TLM170 or 193.
Gut gemacht.Danke für ihren video!!
Merci. Genau was ich gesucht habe
Super. Es freut uns wirklich, wenn unser Video bei der Mikrofonwahl hilft.
Excellent video.
Thank you!
Do you have a favourite microphone or microphone emulation in this video?
@@kaplanhirschmannmusic893 While i listened to the video on an "inappropriate" home speaker, i found the TLM 49 to be smoother.
About the ML1. I have one, which I'm trying tl sell. The first unit i had suddenly started producing a ocean-like humble noise, making it unusable. The second unit sounded fine, but there were moments where the noise would "come up" and disappear. I found it unreliable. In comparison to a TLM 103 and an AT4040, i found it to be very sibilant for my voice, even more than the TLM 103
Keep up the good work!
I‘ve heard from colleagues that there can be quality issues with Slate gear. However we are very happy with our ML1 - it works like a charm. I really like how it can sound with some of the emulations. The „pure“ sound of this mic on the other hand isn‘t something to write home about ;-).
beautiful Voice…
I think I ahould record with all mics in the future and then choose my favorite i stead of just deciding which mics to use.
What monitors are being used?
The slate Mic is only featured first 1 time. The AKG is featured first 4 times. (Referring to First Test)
The beginning of the Vocal is mellow, and not exciting the reverb or compression etc. as much as latter in the track..
SOOO, the first Mic always leaves off a better impression - louder is better ect!
A better test would be a short sample 4 words of the vocal looped with strong continents and S's
Test 2:
2 measures of overhead drum cymbals, hard splashing, and
A/ B /A/B every Mic against each other, ... 😂
I think the 414 was the best because it entered all the same finals
