These are all world class mics in the C12 family. The C 12 VR and C 414 were specially modified by David Royer at Mojave Audio. Asaf Fulks discusses the mics and shoots them out by re-recording vocal parts for his single Green Roses. Leave a comment with your pick to move on to the next round of shootouts against the Sony C800-G. If you&#8217;d like to use one of these mics on your next project contact us to schedule a recording session. Enjoy, let&#8217;s get it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#c12vr #c414 #manleygold #ocrecording #asaffulks #inthestudio #microphone #audioengineering #studiolife #AKG #manleylabs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This video compares the AKG C12VR, Manley Labs Gold Reference and AKG C414 TL II (Royer Mod) microphones.
