But how loud can a number of famous mics, like U47 FET, U87, TLM170, C414 record and sound good? At the end of the clip we record a cranked 100W Marshall stack using 4 versions of the AKG C414 large diaphragm condenser mic (all set to cardoid pattern)
1. 1972 AKG C414 with CK12 Capsule
2. 1972 AKG C414 with Nylon Capsule
3. 197X AKG C414 EB
4. 2003 AKG C414B XLII

Gear setup: Cranked 1977 Marshall Super Bass into 1971 Marshall 4x12 1960B and 1960A with G12M25 75hz Pulsonic Celestion Greenbacks. 2010 Gibson Les Paul Custom R7 with a 1970s Dimarzio Super 2 (K10) in the bridge. Studio konnekt 48 sound interface, PC with Cubase.
