AKG C 414 XL II Large Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

The AKG C414 XLII is a multi-pattern condenser microphone offering 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.

Features:

• Sonic character of the famous AKG C12 delivering astounding sound quality for lead vocals and solo instruments

• Three attenuation levels (-6/-12/-18 db) for closeup recording of high-output source up to 158 dB SPL
• Three switchable bass-cut filters to reduce wind noise, stage vibration or proximity effect
• Overload warning with audio peak hold LED to detect audio peaks
