Product details
The AKG C414 XLII is a versatile condenser microphone that is commonly used in professional recording studios and live sound applications. It is part of AKG's renowned C414 series, which has been a popular choice among audio engineers for many years.
Here are some key features and specifications of the AKG C414 XLII microphone:
-
Polar Patterns: The C414 XLII offers nine selectable polar patterns, including cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, and various intermediate patterns. This flexibility allows you to adapt the microphone to different recording scenarios and achieve different sound capture characteristics.
-
Frequency Response: The microphone has a wide frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This ensures accurate reproduction of both low-frequency instruments and high-frequency vocals or cymbals.
-
High SPL Handling: The C414 XLII can handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) up to 158 dB without distortion. This makes it suitable for capturing loud sources such as drum kits or guitar amplifiers.
-
Switchable Attenuation Pad and Low-Cut Filter: The microphone features a switchable -6 dB or -12 dB attenuation pad, which allows you to reduce the input level when recording very loud sources. It also has a switchable low-cut filter that helps eliminate low-frequency rumble or handling noise.
-
Transformerless Output: The C414 XLII utilizes a transformerless output circuitry, which contributes to its low self-noise and high dynamic range. It provides a clean and transparent audio signal.
-
Build Quality: The microphone has a solid and durable construction. It features an all-metal body with a robust grille that protects the capsule from damage.
-
Accessories: The AKG C414 XLII usually comes with a foam windscreen, a shock mount, and a metal carrying case. The shock mount helps isolate the microphone from vibrations and handling noise.
It's worth noting that the AKG C414 XLII is a popular choice for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and guitar cabinets, among other applications. Its versatility, high-quality sound reproduction, and selectable polar patterns make it a valuable tool for various recording and sound reinforcement needs.
The classic C12 sound
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.
