The C414 XLS 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 XLS maintains the sonic character of the legendary C414 B-ULS, the most popular AKG C414 version since 1971. Engineered for highest linearity and neutral sound, it has been the most versatile large-diaphragm microphone for decades.
Features:
- 9 selectable polar patterns - for the perfect setting for every application
- Three attenuation levels (-6/-12/-18db) - for close up recording or high output source up to 158db SPL
- Three switchable different bass cut filters - to reduce wind noise, stage vibration or proximity effect
- Overload warning with audio peak hold LED - to detect shortest audio peaks
- Engineered for highest linearity and neutral sound - for beautifully detailed recording of vocals and any acoustic instrument
