AKG C414 XLS Condenser Microphone AKG0087Engineered for engineers. Theres a reason the C414 has been a studio mainstay since 1971. The AKG C414 XLS Condenser Microphone delivers a combination of versatility detail and sound quality like few other microphones can. Every subtlety and nuance in your source audio is captured flawlessly by the C414 with pristine reproduction and almost no self... morenoise. A single mic for any recording application. The C414 XLS maintains the legendary AKG standard for sound adding a variable polar pattern pad and high pass filter to adapt the mic to any situation. A total of nine polar patterns are achievable by the simple switch on the front of the mic. Why buy nine different microphones when the C414 can do it all?

AKG C414 XLS Black 3059X00050for recording of lead vocals and solo instruments in studio and on stage
The C414 XLII multi-pattern condenser microphone offers a choice of nine polar patterns for the perfect sonic capture for every application. A peak hold LED displays even the shortest overload peaks. For live-sound applications and permanent installations all controls can e... moreasily be disabled for trouble-free use.
The C414 XLII version differs from the C414 XLS version in one major respect – the capsule. The C414 XLII's slight presence boost and impressive spatial reproduction are both similar to the legendary AKG C12 microphone from 1953.
