Description
The AKG C414 XLS is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with nine polar patterns for studio and stage. It keeps the sound character of the C414 B-ULS, the longest-running C414 model, with a linear, neutral sound that suits accurate, detailed pickup of any acoustic instrument.
Three pre-attenuation pads and three bass-cut filters adapt it to any source. A peak hold LED shows even the shortest overload peaks, and for live sound and installations all controls can be locked. It comes with a shock mount, pop filter, windscreen and metal carrying case.
