Akg 414 vs. rode k2 - i bought my k2 when the akg rep told me to, i was looking at either a 414 or the solidtube at the time, and he said straight out to me that the k2 would run rings around either of them. (and he was right in my opinion) i have to a Hmmm.... I love my 414, but i would go with the k2 over it for vocals, but in other cases i think the 414 might be more versitile....

What makes mics hum-sensitive? - i had this problem with my akg solidtube but that turned out to be a fault in the wall socket that i plugged the power supply into. i didn't think about it and always plugged into the same socket when recording. i know tha I used to have a problem similar to this and it drove me absolutely berzerk! turns out it was the computer monitor i was using.
