I have noticed that sometimes the AKG 414s in the Audio Studio are causing users some issues. If you hear a crackly windy noise when using the AKG 414s, there is a good chance that the mic is the problem and not some other piece of gear or your patching. To my knowledge, the mic is NOT broken. Sometimes the polar pattern selector switches on 414s have intermittent problems. I believe that this is the case with the mics in the studio. If you simply, change the polar pattern, it should fix the problem.
I work at and do much of the maintenance for the studios under the Digital Media Commons at the University of Michigan. The studios are set up as interactive labs for faculty, students and staff. I'd like to share insights, maintenance and projects that I get the unique opportunity with which to interface. I will also be sharing interesting content related to recording and media. There is also a forum where we can all share projects, ideas and findings. Feel free to comment and share
