10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Every subtlety and nuance in your source audio is captured flawlessly by the C414 with pristine reproduction and almost no self noise.

A total of nine polar patterns are achievable by the simple switch on the front of the mic. Why buy nine different microphones when the C414 can do it all?

View Full Description

A studio mainstay since 1971

Between 1971 and today studios have changed a lot. Recording engineers from that time would hardly recognise most of the technology we use today. One thing they would recognise? The AKG C414. Throughout the '80s and '90s computers and DAWs replaced tape recorders, CDs and MP3 files replaced vinyl and cassettes. Through a technological and musical revolution the AKG C414 microphone proved to be irreplaceable.

A whole studio in one mic

A well equipped studio will have a variety of microphones with different polar patterns. Each polar pattern has ideal uses and can help to capture a variety of sources in the best way. So why are some microphones limited to one?

The AKG C414 lets you choose from five standard polar patterns - omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure of eight. You can even blend between each pair, for an additional four hybrid patterns, giving an impressive nine in total.

With nine polar patterns the C414 is not only equipped to take on any modern studio application, but can also be used for a variety of stereo techniques. You can record stereo audio on a film location with a mid-side set or blumlein pair in the morning and then take your C414 to the studio and capture a vocal session in the afternoon. Do it all with one microphone.

Intuitive, reliable use and easy monitoring

Changing and monitoring the settings on the AKG C414 is simple and intuitive. All you need to do is press one side of the switch and the LEDs will show you what polar pattern, pad level, or filter frequency is currently being used.

For live or installation situations all the switches can be disabled, keeping your settings the same even if the microphone is accidentally bumped. The included pad lets you record even loud sound sources up to 158 dB SPL - don't let loud drummers cause you problems anymore!

  • W414 Windscreen
