The C 414 XL II is the successor of the famous C 414
B-TL II. It shows the unique sonic signature of the
highly sought after AKG C 12 which enables lead
vocals and solo instruments to be placed even in a dense
mix. The unrivalled up-front sound is also well-known
for distant miking applications like classic music
recording or drum ambience miking.
The XL II version differs from the XLS version
in one major respect - the capsule. Both, the slight
presence boost and the impressive spatial reproduction
is similar to the legendary C 12 microphones.
For over 60 years, leading musicians and engineers
have used legendary AKG microphones to capture their
sound so their audience hears every nuance. The
C 414 family has been one of the world’s most
widely-used and respected studio and stage microphones
in audio history. AKG has continually set new benchmarks
for useful features, improved technical specifications
and ease of use to answer requests from ever-demanding
recording studios, broadcast stations and audio
engineers.
The new models C 414 XLS and
C 414 XLII offer nine pickup patterns which
enable to choose the perfect setting for every
application. For live-sound applications and permanent
installations all controls can be disabled easily for
trouble-free use. A Peak Hold LED displays even shortest
overload peaks.
The C 414 comes complete with carrying case, pop
filter, windscreen, and spider-type shock mount.
