414B's 24" back.

Flat response, no zippy tops, full low end, takes the levels.

I hate proximity effect on close miced speakers. Everything I use is back far enough to avoid it and to allow the entire cone area of the speaker to blend into what we guitar players call "the sound". Otherwise, the close mic only picks up a partial of the speaker's output. "More tweeter or woofer" says the AE as he moves the 57 around...
