I am torn between these two.... I can get a B stock of the 4047 for around 420$ or the C414 B-XLS for 599$. I am looking for a different flavor than my NTK. It will mostly be used for vocals and guitar, but also piano or drums if needs be. My preamps are a Tampa and a Sebatron VMP2000

Any help appreciated....

Thanks
 
i would purchase the AT 4047.I have Sebatron and Great River Preamps and this mic suits both male and female voices very well.you may need to switch that low pass on the mic.
my recommendation ;)
 
$420 seems a bit high for B stock. Watch the fine print, some of the B-stock sellers are peddling these mics without the shock mount.

I got mine used (eBay) for $200 w/shock mount. Yes, it was a killer deal... I just got lucky. They usually sell for more, but not $420. Don't over pay.
 
I think you'd be happy with either one.

They're both different enough from what you've already got. And both are solid.

I might go for the 414 if for no other reason than the multiple patterns.
