AKG – C414 XLII Recording Microphone

Akg

The AKG C414 XLII offers 9 polar patterns and C12-inspired presence boost, with peak LED and low noise. Includes full accessory set.

SKU: AKGC414-XLII Categories: , , , ,

Description

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 easily 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.
