NUDE 414 User Reviews

Carl-Magnus Consitt – Producer/Audio engineer from Helsingborg, Sweden

"...This video is a side-by-side comparison of a pair of the NUDE 414 clones with a pair of AKG C414...I really have to praise you for a very nice microphone that at times sounded better than the original AKG c414. Incredibly impressive microphone that is of the absolute highest quality!..."

"I used them on drum overheads and acoustic guitar this weekend and they sound great. Silky top end is so good for those super high frequency sources and for taming the acoustic string noise without killing any of the sparkle."

"I have several NUDE mics, the square ribbons, the telefunken copy, bluemlien stereo, they are seriously good and, I am about to order a 414..."

"Best stuff Hugh, they’re lovely microphones with some really nice high mid-range response. Love them for overheads as seen"

"This clone found itself on a song today, and oh my…it really brought everything together.Nude Microphones are an Australian company who make what might be the closest recreations to classics, whilst being extremely cheap, that you’d think I’m telling you an apocryphal story! But it’s all true, this 414 recreation (with brass ring!), is an elegant workhorse. Today it was the centre piece of the drumkit."

Dr St John Marsden - MMG Brisbane

"They’re a big warm sound…but I decided that rather than try to describe them as warm or deep or clear or full. If anyone asks, I’ll say. They just sound ‘full of goodness’."
